How to Make Your Rescue Pet Feel at Home?
Having a new addition to the family is a significant commitment you and your kids can make. Also, adopting a new pet instead of buying one is one of the best things you can do to help them live a better life and teach your kids life lessons.
However, you should also understand that adopting one entails great responsibility, which can be stressful if you don't know what you're doing. The process may take a few days, weeks, or even months, especially if they have experienced a traumatic event or lived in multiple homes or shelters. So, to help you get your new adopted pet properly settled in your house, here are a few ways you can follow.

Dog Breeds With the Highest Health Risks
Dog breeding has been a common practice for hundreds of years and its main purpose has always been to manipulate the way dogs look. But playing around with genetics can be a very dangerous thing – especially when many people and dog breeders create the goal of having a dog be cute.
When it comes to dogs, some breeds have been genetically bred to have features like short legs or scrunched noses. This can make it difficult for them to walk – possibly making it easier for them to have health issues like arthritis. And those cute wrinkly noses are very hard to breathe through.
Even if you have a dog who is likely to suffer from genetic health issues, it doesn’t mean your furry family member deserves any less love. After all, it’s not their fault!
Still, a good health insurance plan is going to be necessary for any pet. Market Watch has compiled a list of the best pet insurance plans https://www.marketwatch.com/picks/guides/insurance/best-pet-insurance/ ) based on needs that are most important to the consumer and their pets.
