🐶 Dog First days · 2 min
Your dog comes from a rescue
Patience, security and small steps.
A lot of new things at once
For a dog from a shelter or a rescue abroad, everything is unfamiliar: noises, stairs, cars. Let him watch in peace.
Questions and papers
Ask the shelter about food, habits, fears and how he gets on with children, dogs and cats. Ask for the vaccination record, adoption contract and information on treatments.
Everything already in the app
If your shelter uses Tendra Pets, you get a QR code at the handover. Scan it in the app and vaccinations, feeding times, medication, care tasks, appointments, weight and photos are with you straight away. You don't have to type anything and can start with reminders right away.
Double security
Anxious dogs run away especially easily in the first weeks. An escape-proof harness and a second lead give you peace of mind.
In small steps
People often say: three days to arrive, three weeks to settle in, three months until he feels at home. But every dog has his own pace.
Getting help is good
With great fear or problems, a dog school or a trainer who works with rescue dogs can help.
More knowledge, reminders and a pet passport for your pet – in the Tendra Pets app.
