FAQ

When a puppy comes home, it needs a safe and calm space, a soft bed, puppy accessories like a collar, leash, food bowls, and a brush, as well as chew toys and activity toys. It’s also important to have a high-quality puppy food that supports growth and development.

When a kitten moves in, you’ll need a litter box with scoop and cat litter, high-quality kitten food, food bowls, a scratching post, a safe bed, and stimulating toys. It’s also good to have nail clippers, a brush, and a transport carrier ready. A cat harness and leash help ensure safe and calm outdoor training. A quiet and secure area in the home helps the kitten adjust to its new environment.

A kitten typically sleeps 16–20 hours a day. Sleep is important for growth, learning, and development. Kittens often sleep in short intervals throughout the day and are especially active in the morning and evening.

A kitten eats specially formulated food for kittens. Good options include wet food for kittens and high-quality dry food rich in animal protein and all the nutrients a growing kitten needs. The food should be easy to digest, grain-free, and free from sugar. Wet food also helps maintain hydration, which is important for the kitten’s health.

A kitten usually eats about 150–250 g of wet food or 50–80 g of dry food per day, divided into 3–5 meals. The exact amount depends on the kitten’s age, weight, and the type of food used. Always follow the feeding instructions on the packaging.

The best start in life for puppies and kittens

The first weeks at home with a new family member are filled with curiosity, learning, and establishing daily routines together. Whether it’s a puppy or a kitten, the right products, nutrition, and care routines create a secure and balanced foundation for life.

The puppy moves in – what should you consider?

When a puppy moves in, it’s good to be prepared in advance. The first few weeks in the new environment require calm, routine, and proper care. Important purchases include:

- Accessories for the puppy, such as a bed, collar, leash, toys, and food bowls- Easily digestible and protein-rich puppy food that forms a solid foundation for puppy feeding- Appropriate dental care and regular deworming- Tailored supplements for puppies

Sometimes the start isn’t completely smooth – for example, if the puppy won’t eat or suffers from diarrhea. These are often temporary issues, but with the right food, sufficient fluid intake, and veterinary advice if needed, they can usually be resolved quickly.

The kitten moves in

A kitten moves in at about three months of age. Once in place, the kitten quickly becomes a curious and active companion that begins to learn the household’s routines. Secure spaces, a calm resting area, and suitable accessories make the adjustment smoother.

Kitten food should be easily digestible, nutritious, and specially adapted for the growth and development of kittens. Many kittens love wet food – its soft texture and appetizing aroma make it easier to eat even during the first stressful days.

If the kitten doesn’t eat at first, it’s a good idea to ensure a calm eating environment, try wet food, or switch to a more palatable option. If needed, Vetapet also offers supplements and special food that support a sensitive stomach.
