At last, you decided to get a small puppy take into consideration 4 things that I tell you below.
Owning a dog can be a great examination for you and your family. I pretty sure that all children a fond of to have a pet, but they don’t understand the responsibility of pet ownership usually. Read the following list of considerations before you really decided to obtain the new puppy.
1. The age o
f your children. Age is a big factor in determining whether or not your children are ready to own a dog. While it may seem like a good idea to get a puppy to raise along with your children. You should wait until your children are at least old enough to understand how to treat the animal with care.
2. Your time obligation. No matter what age your children are, the big part of responsibility for a puppy will remain with the parents. If you want to get your children a puppy, be aware that you will need to spend much time taking care of the animal, especially at the beginning.
3. Pet responsibilities. You'll also want to make sure that your child gets involved with the pet care in an age appropriate way.

3. Pet responsibilities. You'll also want to make sure that your child gets involved with the pet care in an age appropriate way.
- Three- to four-year-olds can make sure that the small puppy is fed and has clean water, with gentle reminders from mom and dad ?.
- Starting at age five, your children can start walking the dog and learning basic animal safety rules, such as not leaving things out for the dog to chew on.
- If your children are between the ages of seven to ten, they can be in charge of feeding all by themselves.
- Older children can attend dog obedience classes with the family pet and can take care of scooping up pet waste.
4. Cost considerations. There are a lot of supplies that you'll need to buy for your puppy so make sure you have enough money to get them. In addition to food, your new puppy will likely need a crate or kennel, a stainless steel food bowl (puppies can chew up plastic ones), ear cleaning solution, a brush, nail clippers and chew toys. If you purchase your puppy from a breeder, there will also be costs to getting the dog in the first place.
If you've still decided a small puppy is right for you, - I respect you! Raising a small friend can sometimes be a very difficult, but it is wonderful hobby to have a pet.
In the next post I will write about pet supplies more deeply.
