Many modern residents of megalopolises strongly are tired of the stone jungle, lead an inactive life, prefer to spend free time in front of the computer or on a sofa. Such deal leads to increase in body weight, the progressing laziness and lack of desires. Therefore more and more people think of a pet – a dog.
Dog – the friend requiring special attentionUnfortunately, not all newly appeared owners think over line of conduct with the acquired dog in advance. Only it seems to laymans that the animal will not bring trouble and will quickly turn into the excellent friend / security guard. Very few people think of companion problems.
However acquisition of a dog – an important step for which it is necessary to be prepared thoroughly. Especially if you independently bring the pet for the first time. There are several moments on which it is necessary to be focused.
Wishing to get a dog, be not guided by the childhood when you, perhaps, had a pet. The most part of care of it and also a financial component lay on shoulders of parents. Today it is necessary to be responsible for an animal completely to you.
First, count amount of time which you are ready to give to a dog daily. To remove at least 2-3 times a day will be required to walk the pet. When the puppy appears in the house, in general it is better for you to take a vacation: the kid needs to help to accustom on the new place, to get used to you. Also it will need frequent food and timely leaving. If you have a time deficiency or you often go to business trips, it is necessary to hold off a dog. Secondly, pay attention to a financial component of a question. A dog in the house are regular expenditure for food, sanitary products, clothes from slush and a frost. Also there are planned visits to the veterinarian: on survey, inoculations. And if the dog gets sick, then, depending on complexity of a disease, it will be necessary to make many financial and emotional investments. Thirdly, take a closer look at the apartment. The dog whatever small she was an animal. Therefore she will surely sharpen teeth about furniture, to try a sofa upholstery, to check, how strong keep a parquet and a plinth and so forth. On breaking at least a month for which you will feel need of repair will leave. Fourthly, define for yourself whether you are ready to pay for a thoroughbred puppy. Good manufacturers put heart and soul, time and considerable funds in dogs therefore the pet cannot cost little. Options "I will give cheap from a good family tree" can backfire subsequently: numerous genetic sores, strong distortion of an exterior, the broken mentality. If you are not ready to make initial contribution to a good dog, pay attention on "dvoryanin" or postpone purchase.
Dog and childrenOften parents think of acquisition of a dog when in family the child grows up. In an animal the adults see the friend, the defender and also – a way to accustom the child to responsibility and kindness. However the decision on a dog should be made not on "a fast hand".
Experts do not recommend to get a dog if the child is less than 14 years old. During growing the animal for it will become a toy which can quickly bother. Also the kid can injure the pet inadvertently.
If you plan the child the allergy is found. Not to betray a puppy, learn about possible reaction in your family. It is necessary to hold off a dog if you plan to become pregnant in the nearest future. Not all young mummies cope along with the pet (even already grown up) and the newborn. In this case only those people who already had dogs can get an animal, and they represent all complexity of a situation.
