Introducing your new baby to your pet is a wonderful way to establish a bond between them, but to your pet it can be a difficult idea for them to get used to, especially if they were your “first” baby. At MyPetSavings, we are here to help you with some tips you can use to make the transition smooth for both you and your pet!

• Sprinkle baby powder, oil, or other baby products that you will be using on your body to prepare your pet for new smells they will encounter.
• Encourage friends with babies and infants to visit often to accustom your pet to babies and smaller children.
• Train your pet to sit next to you or calmly beside your feet to prepare when you are holding the baby. Praise your pet with lots of treats to reward them for their good behavior.

If you’re still worried that your dog may be aggressive or fearful of your newborn, take them to obedience or training classes to calm them down and get used to the idea of a baby in your house. Once they get used to the new baby, you can watch their relationship blossom and become the best of friends for years to come.

Happy Parenting!
