Introducing Children to Pets
Posted by PetFan on Sep 6, 2011 in Pets • No comments
The key to introducing a cat or a dog to a new baby is to get your pet used to the idea of a new addition to the family as early as possible – before the baby arrives on the scene.
Firstly, allow your cat and dog to investigate the room where your baby will sleep. If you don’t allow your pet into the room, they will think there is something in there that needs their attention! Supervise them while they check out the new smells of the nursery, and start carrying around a ‘pretend baby’ (a doll in a baby blanket).
After the arrival, safely let your pets check out your baby whilst you hold it. Make sure that your pets don’t lick your baby, but as dogs depend on their sense of smell, a few sniffs around a baby, under close supervision, may help them get to know each other.
