Dogs will accompany their owners for a lifetime; in their hearts, the owner is their whole world. Once a dog is abandoned by its owner, it causes great psychological harm to the dog. So please carefully consider if you can be responsible for a dog before getting one. What are the things to consider before raising a dog?

Helping the dog clean up excrement, bathing, grooming, medical treatment, training daily routines, and so on are all things you must do. These will take up a lot of the owner's time. Are you sure you have that much time? Especially for friends who insist on raising a young Samoyed, you need to carefully consider your daily schedule.

The Samoyed is a playful breed, especially as puppies; they may chew things in the house. Many habits have to be trained from a young age, which requires the dog's owner to spend a lot of time seeking the correct methods to train and improve behavior.

If your lifestyle means leaving early and returning late, exhausted on the bed at home, or frequently traveling far away with no time to do the above things well, it's better to reconsider.

If you are simply aiming for the dog's flawless appearance, long-lasting popularity, and impressive presence when taken out, you should reconsider as well. Because you might overlook all the troubles during raising due to these reasons.

The process of taking care of a dog is initially fresh and interesting, but if your enthusiasm only lasts a short time, over time it can become a burden. Dogs live for more than ten years. If you are prone to losing interest easily or afraid of them growing up and becoming less cute, then we advise you to be fully mentally prepared before bringing them home!

Currently, the market price for dogs ranges from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, and this price is proportional to the dog's quality. Do not just seek cheap dogs when buying; this can bring many hidden risks, such as whether the dog is healthy or purebred, issues ordinary dog owners cannot judge at a glance. This is not to say you should blindly pursue high prices, but within your financial means, purchase a healthy dog from a legitimate source.

Including dog food, snacks, supplements, grooming tools, bathing, and beauty care expenses, the monthly cost varies from about 150 to 1000 RMB depending on individual circumstances.

This part of the expense is costly for both people and dogs. First, there is the annual vaccination, where routine vaccines and rabies vaccines are essential. Vaccines come in imported and domestic types, with large price differences and variations across different brands. Vaccinations can be administered at pet hospitals or kennels.

If your dog contracts common illnesses like skin diseases or upper respiratory infections, treatment generally costs a few hundred yuan. If it is distemper, fractures, or even requires surgery, costs of thousands to tens of thousands of yuan are normal.

4 Do You Have Sufficient Love and Patience?

For dogs, love cannot be temporary but must last a lifetime. Can your love and patience persist for more than ten years? Many people's love only remains with the puppy stage, finding them full of innocence and very cute. But when they grow up, people think they gradually become ugly and less likable.

When they are young, we should care for them like babies, full of love and attending to all their needs. When they reach old age, we cannot neglect them because they can no longer run or jump high and rarely take them out for walks. What we want to say is, if you have chosen to raise a dog, you must take full responsibility and be a good owner who fills their entire life with love.
