Dogs to Diapers is the perfect recommendation for ANY expecting parent or family member who will have their dogs around babies. Place this topic on your must-read and watch list alongside popular selections, such as What to Expect When You’re Expecting. Here’s why:
- You don’t know what you don’t know– When preparing dogs that are going to be around babies, you would rather be proactive rather than reactive. Most dog-owning parents don’t start looking for materials to help their dogs adjust to their newborn until a situation has happened. We should always be over-prepared regarding the health and safety of our children. Prepare yourself and your dog for life with a newborn; you will create a safer environment to bring that baby home.
- Your love for your dog– I have seen way too many loving families forced to re-home their family pet simply because they did not take the time to prepare for their newborns. Our dogs are our most loyal friends, and unthinkingly, sending them into a situation isn’t fair. If your dog reacts negatively to your baby or toddler, it might force you to surrender or, even worse, put them down if there has been a bite. Watching this video and employing the tips and techniques discussed will ensure your beloved animal is safe and happy.
- Kids deserve to grow up with a well-mannered pet– Some of my favorite memories growing up are co-existing with my dad and his working dogs. I often watched him train, feed, and care for these dogs because they were part of our family. The connection between dogs and humans is impressive to witness. If your child has a negative interaction with the family dog, they could become resentful or timid of dogs throughout the future.
Take the first step towards continuing to help create healthy relationships in families between dog and child.
