Owning a dog is a very big commitment; It is like taking care of your very own baby. Prior to getting one of your own, you should make sure that you will be able to handle it. I don’t want to scare you away from dogs, they are phenomenal pets. Man’s best friend is less than accurate when talking about a dog. However, they take care and attention. Dogs are also expensive. You have to think about dog food, grooming, health, and possible training. In San Diego Dog Training can cost five hundred dollars for a two week session and in San Diego Puppy Training is even more expensive. Keep in mind, the relationship with your dog far balances out any money it costs you.
Owning a dog is a universal enjoyment. They are like best friends, but even more reliable. A good relationship between a dog and master can be stronger than human bonds. Your dog will always greets you when you come home from work or wake up with the constant enthusiasm. A dog is the best shoulder to cry on as well. No dog will leave you when you are in a slump; in fact, they are more likely to pull you out of it. Dogs provide a great date for an evening picnic as well. I will never regret the priceless memories I have of my dogs and I playing Frisbee on a beach or at the park. Though they don’t seem like a big deal, you will cherish these memories later in life.
Dogs are fun, but they cost a good deal of money. Owning a dog is like having a child, you have to pay for its health, food and education in some way. Now, a dog doesn’t need thousands of dollars for college like a child, more like hundreds. Getting a dog trained is important, and will probably cost anywhere from three to five hundred dollars. Another cost that comes with keeping a dog is boarding. If you take a vacation, you will need to find a dog sitter or set your dog up at the kennel. At the cheapest rate, this will cost about twenty dollars a night. Also keep in mind the costs of veterinarian services, grooming or food!
As well as costing money, Dogs cost time. They are not pets like hermit crabs or fish,where throwing food in a bucket will do. Dogs crave nurturing and love. Dogs need to be walked frequently and played with. Giving a dog the attention it needs is a menial task, as long as you tray. They are not picky, as long as they’re being loved. Dogs are perfectly happy with a crummy beat up shoe or tennis ball to play with, as long as they get your attention.
When you buy a dog, you take on a huge duty. But with this responsibility comes great opportunities! By giving a little money, love and time, you receive infinite love, gratitude and a new best friend. Dogs are the most dependable and gracious friends you will ever have. It is an equal trade off,to spend some money and time on them for such a priceless relationship.
