Our family is expecting a baby, how will this affect our pet? And what preperations should we make?
You’re expecting a baby. Congratulations! Everyone is excited, and you have told your family and friends, but have you told your dog? Yes, your dog needs to know that you will be bringing a baby into the house. Many people are so wrapped up in the new baby that they forget the other family member: the family dog. If you have other children, you would explain that they would soon have a baby brother or sister, that things would be changing a little bit and what the changes would be. You would help them understand that they are still loved and that the new baby will be an addition to the family, not a replacement. Your dog deserves the same consideration.
