Listen Later

Expecting a baby? 🍼🐶 Bringing home a newborn is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming for your dog. In this episode of The Doodle Pro® Podcast, I share practical steps to prepare your dog for a smooth, safe transition from “only child” to furry sibling.

You’ll learn how to adjust routines during pregnancy, introduce new baby gear, plan for your dog’s care during delivery, and set everyone up for success when your baby finally comes home. These tips are designed to protect your dog’s emotional well-being, reduce stress, and make sure your new baby and your pup start off on the right paw together.

✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • First trimester: training adjustments and routine changes
  • Second trimester: introducing baby gear like swings and gates
  • Final trimester: planning care for your dog during labor and delivery
  • Bringing baby home: safe introductions and positive reinforcement
  • How to spot stress signals in your dog and ease their transition

Preparing your dog for a new baby doesn’t have to be stressful. With a little planning, you can help your pup feel confident, calm, and secure—while creating a safer, smoother start for your growing family.
