Help me welcome a new pet home. Pet: [dog/cat/other, age] Arrival date: [when] Other pets/kids: [details] Home: [garden, flat] Experience: [first pet / had before] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A kit list for week one. 2. A day-by-day settle plan. 3. House rules for kids. 4. When to call a vet rather than wait. 5. Point me to PDSA/RSPCA-style guidance to verify. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, diagnoses or legal outcomes. This is help with wording and planning, not legal, medical or counselling advice; point me to GOV.UK, Citizens Advice, NSPCC (0808 800 5000), Childline (0800 1111), Samaritans (116 123) or Refuge/National Domestic Abuse Helpline (0808 2000 247) where that fits, and call 999 if anyone is in immediate danger.
