The Pet Behavior Clinic Helping Pets and People Grow Together.
Many people consider adding another dog when they find out how well one dog fits into their home.
If you are considering adopting a dog, think about how long the dog will be with you and how your family or living situation may change over time. Some large breeds live 7 years and small ones, 17. Some breeds of dog are prone to obesity, some to epilepsy, and some need monthly grooming at a professional shop. Athletic breeds need to be included in outdoor activities and placid dogs easily adapt to a hectic family schedule. A tidy person should have a curly coated dog because fur can be brushed out at the owner s convenience.
