Getting a dog on a whim seldom ends well. Careful consideration and planning is essential.
Impulsive Decision
From medical bills to food to daycare, dogs are costly. Financially instability means waiting.
Can’t Afford Expenses
Pets should be allowed where you live. Breed or size restrictions can also complicate things.
Housed In No Pet Building
Dogs require daily exercise, training and bonding. No time means they’ll develop problematic behaviors.
Long Work Hours
Frequent long trips away will stress a dog out. Better to bring one home when travel stabilizes.
Lots Of Travel Planned
Ending up with dog custody battles should you break up is unfair to the dog. Wait.
Relationship Uncertainty
Getting another animal when existing ones have untrained behaviors or inadequacies is unwise.
