A Complete Guide to Spaying or Neutering Your Cat

Helping Your Schnauzer Through the Stress Period
It is normal for a puppy to show stress after arriving home, but a few habits make the adjustment smooth: bond early through the first cuddles and daily feedings, keep the old food (soaked soft), and give it a quiet, warm, crate-like place to sleep.
