Are you surprising a loved one with a pet this Christmas? If so, make sure you do your research before purchasing your new furry friend!

NBC's WGEM refers to Executive Director Sally Westerhoff of the Quincy Humane Society for a few tips to follow if you may be giving a pet as a gift this holiday season. Westerhoff suggests making sure the pet you choose will fit in with the entire family and that you should discuss the idea with the family beforehand. It's also important to choose a pet whose temperament will fit in with your family's lifestyle. (WGEM)

Adding another pet to your home is a big decision.  Whether you have a dog, cat or bird – the transition can be dramatic for your current pet.  After all, your pet has probably already established their turf and the addition of another brother or sister could get their paws in a twist.  In order to make the transition a little easier, we've gathered some useful links from around the web on the topic.

Whatever your plans may be, it’s always best to think about how the decision of adding another pet to your home will not only effect your family, but the quality of life that your loving pet at home is used to.  By taking your pet into consideration, you’re already on your way to making the right and responsible choice.  While it’s true what they say – the more the merrier; there’s even more truth to the benefits of careful planning. 

Whether you have 1,2 or 10 pets, make sure that you make an appointment with Bregman Veterinary Group for ALL your pet’s health care needs.  While the thought of having more than one pet may overwhelm you, it certainly won’t overwhelm us!  We are here for you!
