Happy 7th Birthday to the best dog and cat mother Happy 7th Birthday to the best dog and cat mother in the world. I know people always think they have the best dog but seriously Penny is in the top ten. Loyal and loving and just the easiest dog ever to look after and have around. 

We all want another but she has been so good from day one that I’m terrified of what sort of luck we would get with another one 🤦‍♀️ if only humans could be a bit more like Penny (without the sniffing bums part) 🥰
Manchester has changed SO much. It has been years Manchester has changed SO much. It has been years since we went into the centre itself. What hasn’t changed is the people, atmosphere and my love for the city that will always be home.

4 Things To Consider Before You Bring A Dog Home To Your Family

December 6, 2022      admin      Leave a Comment

Are you thinking about bringing a dog into your family? This is always going to be a big decision. However, as long as you approach it the right way it can be a smart choice. A dog can help teach your children about responsibilities while also ensuring that they have a new companion that they will adore. Let’s explore some of the key points that you should consider before committing to this decision.

Choosing The Type 

First, you should think about choosing the right type of dog for your family. It’s worth noting that different breeds may have benefits and issues. For instance, some breeds are more energetic than others. This means that they will require more exercise overall. Other dogs such as Ausmate Australian Cobberdogs are adorable and are well known to be easy to train. You should always research the characteristics of a particular breed before bringing a dog like this home. 

The Cost 

Next, you should think about the cost of a dog and how it is going to impact your finances. A dog will always lead to higher costs for you on a monthly basis. This is all but unavoidable because they will need feeding. You will also need to consider things like insurance and ensure that you are covered if your pet does require medical attention. Then you need to think about regular bills such as grooming. All these will add up. That’s why it’s best to work out a pet budget and determine whether this is a financially viable option based on your current income and amount of money you have to spare. 

Keeping Your Home Livable 

You may also want to think about how to ensure that your home remains livable when you bring a dog home. It’s common for dogs to make your home quite messy. Again, this can be due to the breed that you have chosen. For instance, long haired dogs are more likely to shed around your home. The best way to deal with this is to buy a high quality pet hoover. That way, you can get rid of the hairs without any issues and ensure that your home does remain tidy as well as clean. 

Training 

Finally, you will need to consider how you are going to train the dog. This is particularly important if you are choosing either a rescue dog or a puppy. Both may require training to ensure that they are safe around dogs as well as people. Training can often be accomplished through positive reinforcement by using delicious dog treats. You can also simply help your dogs learn commands through the use of oral praise. If you are struggling to get the right results here, then there are plenty of guides including videos online that could prove useful. 

We hope this helps you understand everything that you should consider before you decide to bring a dog home to your family. By taking into account all the right points, you can make sure that there are no hidden surprises with this decision.
