if you make things readily available for animals there is less likely chance they will target some of your stuff. >> correct. if they're scratching on your sofa make that unattractive by double stick table but put appropriate scratcher aside it. and then having toys prepared for your dog and cat from interactive toys to congs for dogs or chew bones. having all of that ready and available so when you come home with your new companion animal they have a place that is theirs. they can settle. having that station for them to settle will let them relax and adjust to the sights and sounds and smells of the new home. let's talk about dogs. let's say you are getting a puppy or any dog in general let's talk about the animal having to go outside. some people who are adopting might live in an apartment.

time length that these animals should be inside before they go out, how many times they should do it. >> when you bring a new dog into the home whether a dog or puppy definitely puppy is not house trained. an adult dog you are never sure. bank on every three to four hours letting them have a potty break. if that means coming home during lunch break or hiring a dog walking service then that is what you have to do at least in the beginning until you get your puppy house trained or you know your adult dog's schedule and how long they can hold it. puppies especially if you are house training you have to take them out as frequently as possible. don't give them any opportunity to have an accident in the home. >> very quickly because this is the number one concern i hear of people wanting to adopt animals. i don't know if i can handle the pet fir. what do you say about controlling pet fir inside the

cats can be brushed. cats don't really need baths. they groom themselves. just a good brushing every couple of days and then dogs giving them baths will get rid of that loose fir. >> i actually use deshedding shampoo on my dog. it works amazing. it reduces the amount of pet hair. real quick as far as human food given to animals, some people getting new animals might not know that. >> human food is okay for a treat. that is what we use for high value treats when training. chicken, baby food for kittens and cats. dog and cat food is developed to be nutritionally correct for their needs. that shouldn't be their primary food source but is good for a treat. >> thank you for being here and this cutie pie is available for adoption. news 4 proud to h
