It’s been proven that children who grow up with animals have greater emotional intelligence, but they also gain constant companionship and a more active lifestyle. It may seem like the match between kids and pets is a natural one, but the connection can take a little work. This is especially true if a pet was adopted before the arrival of a little one crying, crawling, and scampering through the house.

If you are expecting a little bundle of joy, you might be wondering what the best way is to introduce your pet to your new baby. How will your pet react? You know your pet better than anyone, but in order to get the best possible result after the birth, a bit of preparation is the key.
