She used to sleep with her owner but has been in a kennel with another dog. As we've no other pets I'm mindful her first night would be scary alone..how can we overcome as ideally we'd like her downstairs if possible, small galley kitchen. She's not crate trained.
What harness do you recommend as I know some say they're too heavy etc, we'll also be popping her in the car on the way back with us.
What transport aids do you use if any if the
y get tired?
Also food is raw and nature something but they're unsure which one? Anyone know which is best naturo or? |
Hi, Get a plastic hard crate for transport (small or xtra small depending on her size) and then make sure your seatbelt goes through the handle. That way if you need to stop suddenly she won't be affected. Also, the first couple of nights might be good to have her in a crate nearby your bed so she can see you. That will make her feel more secure. I might not put her in the bed right away since she is not used to it, if she falls or jumps off, she could break her neck. So many dangers lurking for the little ones. Good luck to you and thank you for rescuing! Please keep us posted on how it goes for you.
