Bringing home a new kitten or puppy is exciting — and a little overwhelming. Here's a simple first-week checklist to help your new family member settle in, put together for new pet parents around Kepong.
Get the essentials ready
- Food & bowls. Ideally start with the same food they were already eating to avoid tummy upset, then transition gradually if you want to change.
- Bed & a safe corner. A quiet spot they can retreat to helps them feel secure.
- For kittens: a litter box and litter. For puppies: pee pads and a collar/leash.
- Toys for play and chewing.
The first few days
- Keep things calm and quiet — let them explore one room first before the whole house.
- Stick to a feeding routine; predictability builds confidence.
- Go easy on visitors at first; too much excitement can be stressful.
Health basics
- Book a vet visit to confirm vaccinations and deworming are on track.
- Ask your vet when to start flea & tick prevention — important in our climate.
- Plan a gentle first grooming once they've settled and vaccinations are up to date.
