Adopted a stray dog? 4 things you should do first

Take them to the vet

First, book a vet visit immediately. Even if they seem healthy, a full check-up ensures they’re vaccinated, dewormed, and free from hidden illnesses.

Help them ease in

Next, create a safe space at home. A cosy bed, fresh water, and a quiet corner will help them adjust without feeling overwhelmed.

Healthy diet

Introduce them to good nutrition. Switch to a balanced diet gradually so their stomach can adapt without any digestive trouble.

Be patient

Finally, give them time, patience, and love. Strays may take a while to trust, but with consistent care, they’ll soon see you as family.
