We know how it is. You get a puppy, you take some time out to help them settle in, and then before you know it the time rolls around to start considering leaving that little pup alone for a little while. Begin by leaving them alone for short periods and build up to bigger bursts of time – take a look at our quick guide to leaving a puppy alone and find out how to treat minor separation anxiety.
INTRODUCING A DOG TO A NEWBORN
It can seem scary to bring a little bundle of joy home to a dog – and sometimes we worry about a dog’s reaction when they can’t be the centre of attention. The key is to take baby steps when introducing a pet to the new arrival. Our experts have put together some top tips to a smooth baby-pet introduction and help keep your home safe and happy for everyone.
Introducing a kitten to a cat
We love kittens – cute, cuddly bundles of fluff and mischief. But when a new kitten joins the household, older cats might not be so keen. It’s up to us to be patient and introduce the two slowly, making sure our older felines still feel loved and secure. Find out how to familiarise a cat with a kitten, so the two can peacefully, even happily, live together for the years to come.
Sharing special time together
Grooming our pets is a great way to build that bond between us. It’s time dedicated to your dog or cat that will help them stay looking and feeling good. Plus, you can sneakily check them over for health concerns at the same time. Find out how to groom a dog or cat at home.

Getting to grips with brain training
A happy dog is one who gets to exercise their mind as well as their body. Our canine companions are clever and love getting stuck into a puzzle, especially if it involves food! Giving them challenges or going further in their training can be a brilliant bonding experience and fun for pet parents too. Here are some brain training ideas.
Doing dog training
Training is great exercise for a dog’s brain – and the better trained your dog is, the easier life will be! Our puppy training top tips have lots of advice for pet parents of new puppies, and parents of older dogs could find some of the advice handy too.
Enjoying exercise and taking trips
Taking our canine companions out for walks and trips is all part of the fun of being a pet parent. If you like taking your dog to the beach, find out when and where that’s possible.
