Question

advantages and disadvantages of pets living in appartments

Answer 1

Responsibility

From training in early life to ensuring your pet is active and engaged enough to stay happy and healthy in adulthood, pet ownership is work. Caring for a pet requires time, energy, and money. Depending on how busy you are and where you’re at in your life, taking on the responsibilities of pet ownership may be good for you. If you hardly have the time or money to care and provide for yourself and any dependents under your wing, it’s probably smart to hold off on getting a dog or cat.

Companionship and social life

As long as you take good care of the pet you bring home to your apartment, you are almost certain to acquire a new best friend soon. Additionally, owning a dog is likely to lead you to chat up residents in your apartment and people around the block you might not otherwise talk to. You’ll grow familiar with who other dog owners are, and may be approached by passersby admiring your puppy.

AdvantagesDogs are fun. They play with you and will run with you.Dogs are loyal. They wouldn’t ever betray you. They'll follow you everywhere, protect you, and don’t ask for much in return.Dogs will help you get exercise at least twice a day. Through regular exercise you can lose weight, lower your cholesterol, and decrease your risk of diabetes.A dog is not only a pet but a best friend at the same time. Research shows that dog owners fared better when it came to depression, loneliness, disease, self-esteem, meaningful existence, stress, and activity.Dogs are great family members and have the above-mentioned positive effects on the whole family.Your dog might not be dangerous, but by simply barking he can keep away a burglar who might think of entering your house.

DisadvantagesTime commitment. A dog is not happy if he doesn’t have daily exercise and can only do his business in the backyard or at the street corner. That is why it is harder to have a dog, especially a big one, inside the city. Dogs need to run, enjoy their freedom, and use their noses in a natural surrounding. So if you don’t live close to a park, forest, or other green area, you should consider not getting a dog.Cost. You need to buy dog food, go to the vet at least once a year (provided your dog is healthy), and pay a kennel when you go on vacation. Dog kennels are not cheap.Be aware that whenever you go on a trip, even if it is only for a couple days, you will need someone to watch your dog. Wether a close relative, a friend, or a dog kennel, it needs to be someone who has at least some knowledge about dogs and how to take care of them.Training is a commitment. Some people don’t like it if dogs jump on them, especially when their paws are wet or dirty, and it is always useful when a dog is trained to sit. Dogs should get to know limits like what is their food and what is ours, which areas (like the couch or the bed) are off-limits, and most important of all, their business has to be done outside (the latter requires a lot of time and patience and needs to be taught from the very beginning to avoid raising a problem dog).
