Having a dog can be a very big commitment; It is like having your very own child. 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 describing a canine. However, they require care and love. Dogs are also expensive. You have to take into consideration 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 friendship with your dog far balances out any money it costs you.
Owning a dog is a world wide enjoyment. They act like best friends, but even more reliable. A healthy relationship between the dog and owner is be stronger than human bonds. Your dog is the only one who always greets you when you come home from work or wake up with the constant enthusiasm. A dog is my favorite shoulder to cry on as well. No dog will leave you when you feeling down; in fact, they will most likely pull you out of it. Dogs provide the perfect date for an evening picnic as well. I cannot count 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 in no way cheap. Owning a dog is like owning a child, you have to pay for its health, food and education in some way. Now, a dog won’t cost you thousands of dollars in college money 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!
In addition to costing money, Dogs cost time. They are more demanding than pets like hermit crabs or fish,who are satisfied when you throw food in their cage. Dogs crave nurturing and love. Dogs need to be walked at least once a week 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 priceless opportunities! By giving a little money, love and time, you get in return infinite love, gratitude and a new best friend. Dogs are the most dependable and gracious friends you will ever have. It seems like a fair trade to spend some money and time on them for such a great friend in return.
