Where should you start?

02 I have an adult dog

03 I have a senior dog
Aging brings stiffness, slowing down and quiet changes in appetite, weight or behavior. This is the moment for twice-yearly checks and tracking quality of life so you catch things early.
04 I just adopted or rescued a dog
Give it time. A new dog needs days to weeks to decompress before its real personality shows. Go slow, keep things calm and predictable, and read the body language.
05 Actually, I have a cat
Cats speak a different language than dogs — a thrashing tail means the opposite. Start by learning to read them, then settle them in on their terms.
