Kitten’s First Night

COMING SOON

Quick Tips (Fast Wins)

  • Keep your pet’s sleep area close to you for the first week
  • Make bedtime boring (calm routine, low lights)
  • Potty right before bed (then once more… tiny bladder reality)
  • Comfort first night, training builds over the next week
  • Be consistent—pets settle faster when the routine stays the same

Recommended Starter Sleep Setup

For Puppies:

  • Crate or playpen
  • Washable bedding
  • Enzymatic cleaner
  • Safe comfort toy
  • Piece of your clothing (worn)
  • White noise (optional)
