One of the most important things to do before bringing home a pet is to plan out everything. A few things you need to consider are food, shelter, space, and the overall safety for the animal.
What kind of food do we need to get?
Should we get a crate to keep it in?
Should we get any toys?
If we get a crate where should we put it?
Do we need to put things out of reach of the animal?
Do we need a collar?
Where should we feed it?
