The heartwarming scene of a puppy coming out of the gift box on Christmas morning is…well, heartwarming. But, here are 3 good reasons to wait until after the holiday season:
- The noise and busy atmosphere of the holidays may frighten a kitten or puppy at a time in his life when he may be least able to deal with it.
- When you wait before getting your pet, you may avoid the “new toy” syndrome: to be played with and then ignored when the excitement of being new is lost. Saving the thrill of a new pet until after the holidays means that the whole family will be involved in the responsibility a “new baby” brings.
- Successful housetraining needs a regular schedule. Most of us cannot provide this needed routine during the hustle and bustle of the holidays.
Is your family ready for a pet? If so, here is a 2-step process that will prolong the excitement and give you great results!
How to give an after holiday pet, and still have your child’s face light up:
Step 1: Wrap up a photo of the new puppy. The breeder or humane society will be happy to let you take one.
Step 2: Make up a special pet package which could include:
| For Dogs | For Cats |
| Food and Water Dishes Dog Care Books Grooming Supplies Dental Care Supplies Ear Care Products Dog Treats Dog Bed Collar and Leash Toys Cage or Crate |
Food and Water Dishes Cat Care Books Brush or Comb Ear Care Products Cat Treats Cat Furniture Collar Cat Toys |
Remember that anticipation, after all, is half the fun of a gift!
