50 Of The Funniest And Cutest Pets’ Reactions To Trying Something They’d Never Tried Before

Parents love documenting their babies' firsts: their first bath, their first word, the first time they eat ice cream, the first time they ride a bike and more. But as you’ll soon find out, pet parents are no exception. Because even their fluffy, furry, scaly and feathery little ones deserve to be celebrated for trying something new.

Down below, we’ve gathered photos of the most adorable first times pets have experienced new things, and I’ll warn you right now: they just might melt your heart. From playing in fresh snow to trying delicious foods, this list is full of precious pet moments. Keep reading to also find interviews with Maggie Marton, of Oh My Dog blog, Dog Behaviorist Nick Jones, MA, and Lisa Stemcosky, CCBC, CPDT-KA, SBA, of PawLitically Correct. And don't forget to upvote the reactions you’re glad were captured on camera!

Hi, I'm Eglė, and I am a visual editor at Bored Panda who searches for the best pictures for the articles that I create. Always trying to exceed the expectations and deliver an interesting, infuriating or cute article, depending on the topic. I graduated from VDK with BA of Arts because I really love art in any form. When I'm not working, I like building miniatures, playing video games or board games and listening to music. Other times, I like cooking food and making things instead of buying.
