The desire to acquire a loyal four-legged friend arises in many people, sometimes completely spontaneously.

If you are also thinking about getting a dog, first answer a few simple questions honestly. This way you won't have to regret a hasty decision later.

First of all, it’s worth admitting – do you realize that your family will have another member, and not a toy?

What is very important is whether you have the means to provide the animal with adequate nutrition.

Decide whether you are willing to spend your resources – both material (money) and non-material (time) – to care for your pet’s health.

If you are planning to get a dog for your dacha to guard your property, will you be able to take the dog into your apartment for the winter?

This leads to the next question: is the area of the house/apartment sufficient to ensure that the pet does not cause any inconvenience?

And finally, the last point of testing - do you love animals and are you ready to tolerate the pranks of your pet?
