Getting a new puppy? What should I do to prepare for their arrival?
Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! What an exciting time. You would need to start by getting a high quality diet (I like the Purina Pro Plan diets though there are plenty to choose from). Also, a dog bed and toys will be important as well. I recommend that you check with your veterinarian to get him in for initiation of vaccines and to start other preventative care medications such as flea and tick preventatives and heartworm preventatives. Good luck and enjoy your pup!

Should my dog stay with family when our new baby comes home?
Hello. Actually, this is an excellent idea. If Mayzee has stayed with your in-laws before, this would be perfect. You will need time to rest & caring for a curious dog wondering about all the new fuss may be a bit much right now. Congratulations on your new baby & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Dog suddenly scared of Christmas lights and shaking, how to help?
Leave the lights on so he can acclimate and see they is no danger. Don't force him to go into the room or near the lights. If and when he does, praise and reward him. Consider a pheromone product such as the Adaptil collar or DAP plug in diffuser to decrease any anxiety.

I just got a new puppy. Does Petco offer monthly pet insurance?
Charlie is so cute! Congratulations! I always recommend looking into pet insurance. We do not have pet insurance but here are a few different companies that provide good insurance for your pet. I would call and get quotes from them and see what they cover. I would look at: Petplan: https://www.gopetplan.com Trupanion: https://trupanion.com/ppc/best-care3?gclid=Cj0KCQiAl8rQBRDrARIsAEW_To9J9FgDp4EL0J01sFWNjI8Qm67dr7ADIYKepw311YUFv5MPhMdRm2waAq6AEALw_wcB ASPCA: https://www.aspcapetinsurance.com/ppc-17/confident?prioritycode=PPC_Brand&gclid=Cj0KCQiAl8rQBRDrARIsAEW_To-bMdYW5ztIL66GftIE-c0gaOLFG3xkvr8ezEFF76FLehYK8VBqiCUaApiHEALw_wcB#/start Figo: https://figopetinsurance.com/?&gclid=Cj0KCQiAl8rQBRDrARIsAEW_To9S9Q2Esru6qbt3iNGDIJy-CPe8qDedVasCoG_bCBidClnU7ER2f7QaApukEALw_wcB Nationwide: https://www.petinsurance.com/ppc-dog.aspx?src=GoogleSearch&OM=CI0418&gclid=Cj0KCQiAl8rQBRDrARIsAEW_To9M0lSK4SC-sL_Ep_fX4tg3gIqXWBYUvksJUDWph2_olYZ572AP0SoaAnlgEALw_wcB Thank you for using PetCoach!

Summer vacation: Should my small dog stay or travel? Safety tips?
Whether or not it is safe to leave your dog at your sisters will depend on your dog. If he has never been around children before or has shown any aggression towards children, then it is less safe. No dog should be left unattended around children, so it is best if your dog hasn't been around the baby to keep it in an area separated from where the baby will be- either a separate area of the house or outdoors. Some dogs are fine with babies, others may be made anxious by the presence of a baby or they may view the baby as a prey due to small size and the funny noises the baby makes. Since your dog is so small, perhaps putting it in a pen inside your sister's house would work. He shouldn't be hard to contain due to his size. Whether you should bring him with you is going to depend on where you area going- do they allow dogs? will it be very hot outside? will you have to leave the dog in a car? It can get hot VERY quickly in a car in warm weather even with windows rolled down, so it is not recommended to leave a dog in a car in the summer with warm weather, so unless the places you are traveling allow pets it may be best to leave him behind. Keeping him cool will involve providing access to fresh water, shade, and not leaving him in a car or outdoors for extended periods of time in the warm weather. I am not sure what type of products you are looking for recommendations for? More information is needed from you for that type of recommendation.
