Introducing a baby or young child into your home can be exciting and overwhelming and will change everyone's lives, including your "first" baby's. You may have the fear of your pets not doing well with children, or diseases such as toxoplasmosis, or worry about not having enough time to spend with your pet.

Baby-Ready Pets will help you prepare and answer these concerns. It is a class designed to help prepare expectant parents and their pets for the arrival of the baby. This class will focus on topics such as:

Preparing your pets to new sounds, sights, smells, and schedules before the arrival of the baby
Introducing your pet for the first time to your new baby
Disease concern answers
Identifying and addressing specific behavior issues.

Attend this program to learn how to prepare your pets and yourself for the new changes your baby will make in the household dynamic. We will provide you with the tools you need to ensure a safe and happy home! We will also discuss safe and appropriate behavior for children to be safe and respectful to their pets.

With careful preparation and dedication the arrival of your baby can be quite successful!

For information on how your organization can host its own class, please contact Kara, DCHS Education Coordinator, at (608) 838-0413 ext. 115 or education@giveshelter.org.
