Firstly, allow your cat and dog to investigate the room where your baby will sleep. If you don’t allow your pet into the room, they will think there is something in there that needs their attention! Supervise them while they check out the new smells of the nursery, and start carrying around a ‘pretend baby’ (a doll in a baby blanket). After the arrival, safely let your pets check out your baby whilst you hold it. Make sure that your pets don’t lick your baby, but as dogs depend on their sense of smell, a few sniffs around a baby, under close supervision, may help them get to know each other. Try to give your pet the same attention and routine you normally would, and stay as relaxed as possible with all of these exercises so that your pets do not pick up on any anxiety you may be feeling.   This will make them feel that they are not being ousted from the household. You should never leave your baby unattended with any pet, but especially cats and dogs.   Your pets will not understand that their actions, such as trying to climb into cot, could be harmful. Keep your baby behind closed ‘pet-free’ doors if you are not nearby. It takes time and effort to introduce toddlers and pets.   Closely supervise any interaction between them, never leave them alone no matter how well behaved your pet is and praise your child when they handle your pet correctly. As children often imitate parents, how you react will show your child what is acceptable behaviour. All pet owners should ensure their dogs are fully obedience trained before allowing them to interact with children. Many children are happy to look after and learn about pets, but should only be given responsibility based on their ability, age and interest.   However, many studies have shown that children who are taught to respect pets become more compassionate adults.   Taking time and care to teach children and pets to treat each other with respect will create long-term advantages for both pet and child alike.
