Have you experienced the ‘puppy blues’? The mix of emotions that you might not have been expecting when you became a pet parent to a puppy.
Taking care of a new pup can be a full-on challenge. Experts often talk about dog training, the health of the pet and how it will react to its new home but the psychological struggles of owners are rarely openly talked about.
ManyPets spoke to pet owners to learn more, and their research revealed that over a third admitted to experiencing puppy blues during the first few weeks of getting a puppy. That’s the combination of joy, expectation, anxiety and regret jumbled up together.
Almost all of them (over 91%) who experienced puppy blues said they would have benefited from receiving advice from an expert on how to cope with these negative feelings.
It’s why they are introducing the UK’s first Doggy Doula Dr Scott Miller for the start of 2023! Many people begin the year with a new pet and at ManyPets they want to be there to help the pet parent as well as the puppy.
In his role as Doggy Doula, Dr Miller will be helping pet parents feel calmer, more confident and zen like in their new parent role. They have a limited number of slots available where you can speak to him directly if you need support. Book your doula call here.
