How much does it cost to own a dog?
The cost of owning a dog can be estimated at about $1,400 to $4,300 per year. There are ways to save money depending on the choices you make. Contributing factors include your dog’s size and age, the region in which you live, your own lifestyle, and your dog’s individual needs.
How do you convince your parents to get you a dog?
Watch for a quiet moment, and then ask your parents, “Why don’t you want me to get a dog?” Then listen quietly and carefully to their answers. This is KEY, because once you know exactly WHY your mother doesn’t want a dog, for instance, you can come up with really good counter-arguments to convince her she DOES want a dog.
Do your parents let you beg for a dog?
But your parents don’t seem so charmed by the idea. Apparently, begging works well for dogs, but no matter how much YOU beg, Mom and Dad just keep saying “no!” If this is your life right now, you probably feel really sad. And frustrated.
Should I get a dog?
If you had a rough week, are in need of comfort, or just want someone to listen to your thoughts and feelings, getting a dog is the way to go! Our dog will always greet you with a smile, be willing to listen to your thoughts, worries, and feelings as well as be your cuddle buddy in times of need.
Is your dog the right breed for your family?
A cute dog you saw in the park may not be the right breed for your family. For example, if your family is athletic and wants a dog to take on summer hikes, a breed in the Toy Group might not suit your needs. If you live in an apartment, a large breed could take up too much space.
