Becoming a Dog Owner

Once you are ready to become a dog owner, there are some things that you need to do to prepare for a dog. First, you will need to decide if you are going to have an indoor or outdoor dog. If you are having an indoor dog, you will want a bed or a rug where your dog will be trained to lay down at. If you choose to have an outdoor dog, you will want to have a dog house for them with a blanket or hay inside for them to be comfortable and remain warm when it is cold out.



You will need to get the accessories such as a food bowl and a water bowl. You will want some dog food. Don't forget to have a collar with you, the owners name on a dog tag. This will ensure that your dog is returned to you if by chance it gets away from you.



Being a dog owner takes a lot of responsibility and dedication to your pet. You must be willing to play with it daily or to walk it daily.

You must remember to give your dog food and water daily. If you leave the food and water down for your dog to eat at their desire, then you will need to ensure that there is always food available. You will want to change the water weekly.



Being a dog owner can be a lot of fun, but it does take time and dedication. The better you are to your dog, the better they are to you.
