The first three months of a puppy’s or kitten’s life are crucial for their growth and development. Here’s a comprehensive guide to ensure they grow into happy, healthy pets:

Week 1-4: Getting Settled

• Vet Visit: Take your puppy or kitten for an initial vet check-up to ensure they’re free from parasites and to get their vaccination schedule.

• Sleeping & Crate Training: Set up a designated sleeping area for them and begin crate training to help with housetraining.

Week 5-8: Socialization & Training

• Basic Commands: Start teaching your pet basic commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come.”

• Socialization: Expose your pet to different people, environments, and other animals to avoid behavioral issues later.

Week 9-12: Health & Hygiene

• Vaccinations: Ensure your puppy or kitten gets their necessary vaccinations during this period.

• Teething: Puppies and kittens begin to teethe around this time, so provide them with appropriate chew toys to avoid destructive behavior.
