Baby’s new room painted? Check. Crib assembled? Check. Carseat installed? Check. Pets prepared? Um….How exactly should you get your pets prepared for the new baby? Well one company has it all figured out and has over 10,000 success stories to backup their claims that they are one of the most successful tools for getting your pets adjusted to the newest member of the family. Introducing Preparing Fido!!!

Preparing Fido is a fantastic cd that not only helps your pets get used to the sounds a baby makes, it also does wonders for mom and dad as well. With tracks of actual babies crying, throwing tantrums, laughing, taking baths, cooing, and trying to talk all you have to do is place the cd in your stereo and let it play. Pets are curious by nature and the last thing you want is to feel like your newborn is in danger simply because Fido has never heard anything like it before.  We’ve all seen our pets when they are exposed to something new and have witnessed them get agitated, hyper, frightened, and begin to bark non-stop. With the help of Preparing Fido, your pet will be accustomed to the baby long before it gets there.

I’ve personally used this cd myself in an attempt to get our two 8 year-old house cats used to our coming bundle of joy and it worked wonders! I’d press play before I left the house in the morning, again in the afternoon, and for a few minutes each night. At first both cats were scared and even hissed at the new sounds coming out of the stereo, but less than 3 months later when it was time for baby everyone (including myself) were used to the sounds of a baby throwing a gigantic tantrum. At a cost of only $16.99 the cd is a steal and even comes with a training booklet with other tips on getting your old babies used to your new one.
