It’s been medically and scientifically proven that dog owners tend to live, on average, longer than those who do not own dogs throughout their lives. If that is not the best reason around for getting a new puppy of your own, there is no good reason. However, not everyone is meant to have a puppy. There are many people who absolutely adore puppies and dogs, but cannot have one of their own for various reasons. Before you go out and get a puppy, make sure you are not one of those people who simply cannot make life work with a pup in the house.
Questions to Ask Before Getting a Puppy
- Do I have the space for a dog?
- Do I have the time for a dog?
- Do I know anything about dogs?
- Is my entire family on board with a dog?
- Are we financially capable of taking on a dog?
- Which breed is right for us?
