Pet Care

Caring for Cats

The Cat Care document provides a new owner of an adopted cat all the information required for a successful transition into the new home.


Caring for Dogs

The Dog Care document provides a new owner of an adopted dog all the information required for a successful transition into the new home.


Transition & Decompression

Often when we get calls of concern about pets in their new homes, it's within the first 48 hours. Transitions can be challenging for cats and dogs, moving from a shelter environment to a loving home. Typically, the decompression period can last up to 3 months, so to help you navigate this time we have the following handouts.


Pet Introductions

Introducing new pets to one another can be a stressful and challenging task, with extremely rewarding outcomes. To help you in this process, we have compiled several handouts that cover introducing dog-to-dog, cat-to-cat, and cat-to-dog.

As always, we are here to help as we can. If you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at info@bowvalleyspca.org.
