Are You Ready to Get a Dog? How to Understand It - 3 Signs
27.03.2024 01:30
Before getting a dog, you need to analyze your own condition and mood.
A person must understand whether he is ready for the appearance of a pet in the apartment.
Sometimes people who dreamed of having a pet and were initially confident in their abilities suddenly realized that they would not be able to cope with raising a four-legged friend and would not be able to take proper care of him.
The main thing is to realize this in time: even before acquiring a dog.
So, what do you need to make sure of before becoming a pet owner?
No allergies
Some people are allergic to dogs.
An allergy sufferer has only two options: either give up the dream of becoming a pet owner, or find a “safe” four-legged friend.
In the second case, we are talking about a representative of some hypoallergenic breed. But it will still be quite difficult for an allergy sufferer to completely protect himself.
I have free time
A person who wants to become a dog owner must be prepared to lose a lot of time.
This includes regular walking of the pet, training, and taking care of the animal's health. Most likely, you will have to take the dog to the vet more than once.
It is unlikely that you will be able to leave the dog in the apartment for a long time.
Are you a busy person and don't have relatives who can help you in difficult situations? Then think a thousand times before getting a dog.
There is a willingness to spend
Being a dog owner is not a cheap pleasure.
You will need to buy certain products and veterinary drugs, as well as various devices (specific dishes, toys, collar, muzzle, etc.).
You may need to visit a veterinarian quite often.
