Responsibility comes along with a dog's presence in your life. No more long workouts at the gym on your way home from work; your dog needs to eat and be taken for a walk. How about weekend trips out of town? Now you need to find a dog-friendly hotel, a pet sitter, or a good boarding kennel.
No one said having a dog would be worry-free, but preparing yourself and your home will lighten the load. Having the proper tools to care for your dog will make the experience much better. Proper grooming, training, and healthcare will keep your dog mentally and physically healthy.
Whether you prefer a puppy, purebred, mixed breed, adult dog, and whether you feed a raw food diet or the best commercial food you can find, there are many decisions to make. You will need to make your home and garden safe for your pet. With knowledge, help, and perseverance, your dog will live a healthy and happy life.
