SHOULD I GET A DOG?

Getting ready for a dog is not an easy decision as it requires Sacrificing a lot of time, and having vast patience. However, the reward is enormous as you will win the most devoted and trusted friend.

Dogs are…

• A source of Happiness.
• Reduce stress.
• keep you active and healthy.
• Help you make friends.
• Teach you to relax and keep your company.
• Make you laugh.
• Help you become a better person.
• Is a faithful Friend for a lifetime.
• And they are incredibly cute.

Dogs love activities. Before choosing, you need to evaluate your lifestyle. For example, very active breeds like dalmatians need at least one to two hours of intense exercise. In contrast, two hours of high activity for a Little Chihuahua is a marathon. So it would be best if you found a breed that is close to your temperament.

Puppy Accommodation And Conditions

The type and size of the dog you should get depend on the way of accommodation. It is wrong to bring a huge dog of St. Bernard in a small space. Such a breed needs his own house in the yard or a large room inside the house. Simultaneously, smaller breeds as poodles, chihuahuas, Pomeranians, terriers, pug, french bulldog…etc got them to prefer to live in a small indoor area. Some family members may have allergies, so you should consult your family doctor and then a veterinarian before deciding which breed to choose.

Grooming And Care

Getting a dog needs regular grooming and care. Some breeds with long and curly hair as poodle, terrier, border collie, maltese, pomeranian…etc need grooming several times a week. Can you do it? Or is it better to get a puppy with less hair that requires less care?

Expenses For The Health and Care

A large dog needs more food and more products to take care of it. Some breeds require special care or are more prone to specific health problems while non-purebred are more sensitive.

Temperament And Character

To match with your new puppy, you must have the same temperament as you and your family. When you have many friends and spend time outside of the house, you will do better with more friendly breeds who are friendly and tolerant of people and animals. On the contrary, if you are more restrained, it is better to choose a breed of a similar temperament.

So, to make the right decision, and ask your self, why should I get a dog and consider all the above.
