Will visiting my pet after adoption confuse them or help them adjust?

I'm so sorry you had to give away Finley, how heartbreaking for you! I don't think Finley would think he's coming back to you if you go and visit him. He's had time to adjust to his new home, and is likely very settled there. I'm sure he would be happy to see you, but he will likely view you as a visitor to his home. I think it would help you see him in his new home, and I would go visit him if you'd like :-)

Wow this makes my heart hurt for you and Luna. I think visiting her is confusing her, makes her miss you. If you aren't able to move out on your own to take her back, then I would stop visiting her. I'm so sorry.

This is a tough question and a tough situation. I’m sorry you are going through this. It is hard to say which scenario would be better for Diego, it probably depends on his personality. If he was very attached to you I think it would be better if you avoided going to see him in his new home as this may confuse him and cause him more stress. I think it would be a good idea to have the new owner take Diego to the vet to be checked out and make sure there are no medical issues going on that could cause him to not want to eat. It may also help if the new owner got somenphermone diffusers, like Feliaway, to help Diego be more relaxed and comfortable in his new home. I hope this helps.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. This can certainly be a confusing situation for Pepper, which may explain why he was confused when he returned the last time. If Pepper is going to a bad environment, I would try and talk this over with his previous owner and ensure him that Pepper is much better off in the environment he has been in the longest. Unfortunately, if he gave you temporary care of his dog, technically Pepper still is his dog. You could also ask the man if you could adopt Pepper from him and pay him an "adoption fee" and make it so that if you adopt Pepper, he no longer has ownership and is no longer allowed to take Pepper for visitation. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Hi there, This is a very thoughtful question. I do not think this will cause Bella or Rocky any trauma. Dogs live in the moment and I think they will be happy to see you at any time or frequency. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Poor guy. I hope he gets well and is able to come home soon. Pet visits are absolutely welcomed and encouraged. Cats aren't as attached as dogs, but they do enjoy visits from their owners and this can boost morale and also the health of the pet has been shown to increase when there is an emotional tie to a present owner. I would encourage you to visit your pet Memi everyday he is there, twice daily if possible, and I hope he gets well soon!

Penny has been through a lot lately with moving to a new home with a new owner. When you met her, you likely met her where she was living, so she felt comfortable there and was friendly. She met your parents in a new home that she has not adjusted to yet, so she likely was shy and a little scared. Give her some time, it's ok that she didn't let them pet her. I imagine she will warm up as she becomes more comfortable in your home. Best of luck.
