Bringing a new companion into your home is an experience for both of you. Just like people need to adjust to new places, our animal companions are sensitive to their surroundings and need time to adjust to their new home. There are a variety of conditions and factors that can make this new relationship easier or more difficult. If you have prepared and chosen your companion after careful consideration, settling in is often smooth with few surprises. If your animal companion has come into your life spontaneously or unexpectedly you may have not been able to prepare. Either way, there are series of actions you can take that will help you settle in together.
When I provide transition services, I work with you to determine how you will balance your needs and lifestyle with the needs of your companion animal. We review pet care, feeding and nutrition, space (physically and energetically), activity needs, your availability (in terms of time and emotional support), and more. Depending on your circumstances we will cover anything and everything from choosing a vet, picking foods, creating comfy spaces, to dealing with behavior challenges. My services are customized based on your home conditions. I work with families, couples and single individuals.
