How Can I Help My Dog Adjust to My New Home in Boca Raton?

There are several things you can do to help your dog adjust to your new home in Boca Raton. Check out these tips:

  1. Try to stick to a schedule as best you can. Even though it’s difficult to maintain regular times for walks, play and cuddles, it’s very important to your dog to stick to a routine during stressful times.
  2. Set up your dog’s space as soon as possible after you move into your new home. That way, your dog can get comfortable with their own belongings and start to make the space their own.
  3. Let your dog explore at their own pace. Think about closing off rooms your dog doesn’t need to be in right away – at least until they’re more comfortable around the home.

How Long Will it Take My Dog to Adjust to our New Home?

It can take a dog a while to feel comfortable in a new home. Usually, it takes between three and four weeks for a pup to start getting comfortable. During that time, you can give your dog plenty of extra attention, lots of exercises and a few extra treats to help them warm up to the new space.

How Can I Make My Dog Less Anxious in My New Home?

It’s tough to make your dog feel less anxious than a new home, but it’s possible. One of the best ways to make your dog feel more relaxed in a new spaces to show them that you, yourself are relaxed. You can do that by spending extra time petting and cuddling your dog (and giving a few extra belly rubs, if that’s something your dog enjoys), as well as by providing stability and plenty of quiet time. Go slow on walks around the new neighborhood, two period that way, your dog can begin to orient him- or herself.

What Are the First Signs of Stress in a Dog?

Dogs usually show stress in ways similar to humans, such as by changes in their body posture or by pacing. Other signs that your dog may be a little stressed include shaking, whining or barking, yawning, drooling, shedding and excessive panting.

When is it Time to See a Vet About My Dog’s Stress?

If your dog doesn’t de-stress after a few days in your new home, it’s probably time to see your veterinarian. Your veterinarian will check to make sure that your dog doesn’t have a medical issue causing their stress, and then they can give you the guidance you need based on your dog’s symptoms.
