We vets WANT to increase the number of pets , the number of pet parents , and also the quality of pet health care !.
That’s why its important to guide the pet parent towards selecting the proper dog breed.
We all believe that pets bring happiness and love to families and to human welfare. Several studies show that caring for a pet has physical and mental health benefits, and positive effects for elderly or single adults.
But here in this article , we will highlight important considerations. We are trying to match-fit the dog breed with the pet owner lifestyle.
Many vets figure out on spot that the pet parent is not that responsible and lack the parenting experience . We can easily find defects in the dog because of unsuitable housing or nutrition. Even though the pet parent loves his dog , but is he/she also providing the real proper care ?
Below are examples of questions any vet can ask a new pet parent or any else willing to get a dog. And according to the answers , vets can recommend dog breed that is suitable and fitting the pet parent’s lifestyle.
1.
Can you afford the costs
of caring for your pet? Such as nutrition budget per month ? the basic medical
check ups ? grooming costs ? regular visits and timing ?
2.
How long will you be away
from your pet? Do you work long hours or travel frequently? Will you walk ,and exercise
the dog on daily basis ?
3.
Who will care for your
pet in your absence? Are you fully responsible for the dog?
4.
What future changes might
occur in your living situation or lifestyle that would affect your ability to
keep your pet in years to come? Dogs can live up to 15 years , so you as a pet parent
need to acknowledge that very well

arrangement limit your choice of pet or number of pets? Do you stay in an apartment
