Paired pups enjoy built-in playmate, feeling less lonely when left alone. Bonded pairs keep each entertained and often sleep snuggled too!
Friends
Shy dogs can gain courage, learning skills from confident canine role models sharing a home. It builds self-assurance.
Confidence
Dogs encourage each other to be more active. Multipooch families tend to take more frequent or longer walks together staying healthy.
Exercise
Dogs learn desirable manners and cues faster observing housemate pups praised for good conduct they then mimic.
Training
Adopting a second dog can reduce anxiety, boredom digging/chewing issues of a current pup when given a buddy.
Peace
But double the dogs mean double the veterinary, food, supplies and boarding costs. Budget accordingly before getting another pooch!
Costs
Adding a second furkid equals triple the cleaning, grooming and training efforts. Make sure your schedule allows the time commitment.
