Will you be introducing a new pet into your household this year? If you have a pet already, you’ll want the transition to go well. Our pets can be territorial and possessive of us; competition for affection, as well as sleeping space and food, is not always welcome.
Here are some steps you can take to ease the introduction of a new pet:
*Pet owners are at risk of being bitten or scratched when attempting to break up a fight between pets. Try yelling “No!” in a loud voice.
Some sources recommend distracting the animals by throwing a large blanket over one of them and then picking him up, but the owner still risks injury when attempting to remove an animal using this technique. Using a loud noise to distract the pets may be safest.
