It is also important to continue the socialization of your pet. Your pet should be comfortable around other people, and allow other people into the house if the need arises. Transportation Transportation can be a hurdle when owning a pet. You will need to make trips to the veterinarian, to the store to get pet food, and perhaps to a groomer. If you do not drive, someone from your neighborhood may be able to help.
Some veterinarians make house calls, so that is another possibility.
Good communication with your veterinarian Good communication between you and your veterinarian and other persons who may care for your pets is essential. Provide your veterinarian with information on who will take care of your pets if you become ill or incapacitated, who will make decisions regarding your pets, and also discuss any financial arrangements. If you become ill, not having to worry about these details will help you concentrate on your recovery. Make sure you understand any medical condition your pet may have. Ask your veterinarian questions so you can understand what s going on.
