New Pet Counseling
Adoption Counseling
Adding a new pet to your family is a significant decision, and Golden Standard Pet Services is here to help you make the best choice. Our Adoption Counseling service helps you find the perfect pet, whether from a shelter, rescue, or breeder. We begin by understanding your lifestyle, preferences, and needs. We consider factors like your living arrangements (house or apartment, yard or no yard), family dynamics (number of family members, children, other pets), activity levels, daily routine, and any allergies or health considerations.
For shelter or rescue adoptions, we guide you in selecting a pet with the right personality and energy level for your home. We provide tips on assessing health and behavior and offer advice on preparing your home and existing pets for the new addition, ensuring a smooth transition.
If you’re considering getting a puppy from a breeder, we help you choose the ideal breed based on your lifestyle and expectations. We offer insights on evaluating breeders, including what questions to ask and what to look for during visits, ensuring you choose a reputable source. We also guide you in selecting a puppy from a litter, focusing on temperament and health to make the best choice.
Our service includes a 1-2 hour virtual meeting via Zoom, where we discuss your needs and provide expert guidance tailored to your situation. After the meeting, our team is available to answer any follow-up questions via text, providing continuous support until your adoption day.
New Pet Integration Coaching
Bringing a new pet home is an exciting time, but it can also come with challenges as you help your new family member adjust to their new environment. Golden Standard Pet Services offers New Pet Integration Coaching to ensure a smooth and successful transition for your new pet and your household.
Our New Pet Integration Coaching helps you smoothly welcome a new pet into your home. This service offers personalized coaching on introducing your new pet to existing pets, setting up a supportive environment, and ensuring their long-term happiness.
We start by understanding your home setup, family dynamics, and your new pet’s specific needs. We’ll discuss strategies for positive, stress-free introductions to existing pets and managing potential behavioral issues. We’ll advise on setting up your home with designated spaces for feeding, sleeping, and play, as well as essential supplies and safety measures. Our goal is to help you establish routines and boundaries that support your new pet’s adjustment. This coaching is provided through a 1-2 hour in-home meeting, tailored to your situation. After the meeting, our team is available via text for ongoing support and follow-up questions to ensure a smooth transition.
