Why have a dog as a Pet?

The first question one always thinks when having a pet at home is which one?

Should I keep a parrot, a dog, a cat or rabbit or a fish??.

It's pretty difficult to decide which one from the vast range of animals or birds or even reptiles and insects to keep as pet.

To start with i recommend you to close your eyes and think about the picture of the animal or bird or any living thing other than human which makes you feel happy.

We all want to be happy and owning a pet must give you a source of joy and happiness.

Making it simpler I would ask you a simple question.

A stray dog comes to your courtyard. what do you do? How will you react on seeing a dog?
Will you chase it away or open the gate and allow it to enter and move around while you go to the kitchen to bring some biscuits or cookies.

If you allow the dog to enter your house compound, feed it, hug and play with it even when your family members like your mom or your dad ask you not to; then this shows your passion for dog.

Same applies to Cat or any animal or bird.

This natural instinct of love for another being not human in body form is sufficient to prove that you love dogs.

A dog is considered a man's best friend and has been so for thousands of years. You will find innumerable real life stories of faithful dogs and their masters and how they make great company.

So once you have decided to have a dog as a pet. Next questing arises which dog??

This i will discuss in detail in the next chapter on " How to make a decision on choosing the dog breed as a pet?

Vaccinating your dog

By vaccinating your pet dogs, you help protect your furry friend from various diseases including rabies, distemper, parvovirus, infectious hepatitis, bordetella, feline leukemia and others. Vaccinating your pets annually helps lessen the spread of infectious diseases throughout pet populations. For Dogs : Vaccines for canine parvovirus, distemper, canine hepatitis and rabies are considered core vaccines.These include vaccines against Bordetella bronchiseptica, Borrelia burgdorferi and Leptospira bacteria.
