What to Know Before Getting a Puppy

 

1. Life commitment

Once you get a puppy, you can't get rid of it. A dog's life expectancy is 13 years. So you should be ready for that commitment.

2. Costs

A puppy can be easy to get, but it comes with its cost. You need pet food, bedding, a collar and other accessories such as a pet tag. The food a puppy consumes is not the same food they will consume when they are older.

3. Healthcare

Your dog's health and happiness should be a priority. Make sure you know a vet who can take care of your dog in case they are ill. Also, your dog requires vaccinations, therefore be ready to follow up on the dog's vaccination dates.

4. Your lifestyle

Does your lifestyle allow you to take care of a puppy? If you travel a lot or are not home most of the time, maybe you should reconsider having a puppy. One cannot leave puppies alone for a long period unless you have someone to help you. Puppies need time, care, and affection. Ensure that you can provide these things to them.

5. Exercise

Puppies and dogs have a lot of energy which is released through activities. Hence your puppy will require daily activities and walks. Arrange to walk your puppy once a day, take them to the park or have a game in your backyard.

6. Time-consuming

All pets are time-consuming, including a puppy. You have to take the time to plan who will feed, walk, and watch over your dog in your absence. Unlike before, where you can just leave the house with no care, you must ensure someone is looking after your puppy.

A pet’s death is an emotional one, so you can rest assured Pets In Peace will support and comfort you and your family during this difficult time. In addition, we will provide a personal memorial service and aftercare for your pet. Visit our website or contact us for more information.
