Your First Dog - Understanding Your Dog's Needs

When you decide to take a dog into the family have you taken in all the necessary pros and cons of owning a dog, for instance?

1. Pet insurance, what does it cover, does it cover damage to other people's property or person in case they got bitten. Will owning a dog affect your contents insurance on your home?

2. Have you considered how it will impact on your family? Do you expect any new additions to the family other than your new dog? If so how will your new dog react to children in or out of the home?

3. Do you have a dog already?will there be a problem with gender, breed or even jealousy of new and old dog.

4. Have you also considered your holidays? will your new dog be able to go with you or will it have to be kennelled.

5. Can you afford another hungry mouth to feed? The cost of feeding a dog can be very expensive as the dog gets older. Food $200 to $400 per year.

6. Do your neighbours have dogs or cats? Are you going to upset the neighbourhood balance of peace and quiet?

7. Are you going to give your dog your time and energy, for exercise and training, if not who will and will they keep it up.

8. Can you manage the vet's fees? does your pet insurance cover your dog for sickness or injury.

9. Who actually wants the new dog?Is it for your child because their friend has one and it's a cuddly little puppy? Ask yourself will they care for it after a few months when the novelty wears off. And they find that they have to clean up after its toilet. Or will it become one of the family, which is as it should be.

So that's just a few things to consider when taking a dog into the fold. It becomes your responsibility good or bad. The training, exercise, feeding, sickness and the warmth and loyalty that a dog provides, if it is treated and trained well.

It's true that the decision to take a dog into your family should not be taken lightly for your sake and the dog's sake.

"It's Just Good Dog Sense"

There are a lot of dog lovers who really love their dogs as members of their families. Many people celebrate their dog's birthdays with as much attention as others do with their children. There is nothing wrong in that. It is actually heart warming to see such a bond between man and animal.

But If it was your friend who was the dog lover, what do you get as a dog gift? What would give joy to both your friend and his dog at the same time? The best bet for a dog lover gift is, in my opinion, is a dog toy.

There is a great variety of dog toys available in the market today and one can definitely get a good choice both in price and novelty. There are rubber toys which are designed to exercise the dog's jaws by chewing it, as well as fetch-me rubber balls which can entertain both dog lover and the dog for interminable stretches of time.

Then there are raw-hide toys which most of the times come with meat flavour for added attraction. These serve a dual purpose - the dog can actually eat it in time and it is reinforced with vitamins, so it is healthy and it becomes a favourite play thing for all dogs without exception.

Among other toys designed as dog gifts are soft toys and vinyl toys. You may be surprised to learn that dogs actually love to cuddle and play with soft toys, sometimes just as much as kids do. Some dogs carry their soft toys in their mouth during the day as a child would carry their toys, while some love to snuggle against theirs.

I would advise you to consult with the dog owner before you buy a doggy gift, because some dog owners are a little fussy with their dog's food stuffs or the dog itself may be in a training program and certain toys might not be appropriate.
