Responsible dog ownership

Thinking of getting a dog

Dogs live for around 14 years and are a big commitment. Before you do, consider the following:

  • Lifestyle - do you have the time, suitable accommodation and willingness to care properly for the dog, regardless of the weather
  • Environment - are there suitable facilities near you to exercise your dog on a regular basis, if not where would you take it
  • Budget - dogs are expensive to keep. You will need to pay for its nutritionally balanced diet, visits to the vet, vaccinations, and medical treatment for any illnesses or accidents. You may have to take out insurance to cover expenses for your dog in case of illnesses, accidents and if your dog causes damage or harm to property, people or other animals
