New Year, New Pup: Assisi Animal Health Shares Four Things to Consider for Anyone Planning to get a New Dog in 2017

PINEHURST, N.C., Dec. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Assisi Animal Health developed the Assisi Loop®, an effective non-pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory device (NPAID®) that works as a PEMF therapy for animals. The Loop helps heal wounds and relieve pain in dogs, cats, and horses. Assisi shares four things to consider for anyone planning to get a new dog in 2017.

The time commitment. While the prospect of getting a new dog might fill your head with images of long walks and snuggle time on the coach, you must also prepare yourself for the time investment of bringing up—and training—your new family member. It is a daily commitment, and if you work long hours or travel frequently, you'll need to consider this prospect very carefully.

The financial obligation. Puppies need vaccinations, food, accessories, and grooming. Additionally, if you go on vacation, you will either need to find a dog sitter or kennel or research pet-friendly hotels. Since this will be necessary throughout your dog's life, it is a serious factor to ponder.

Your intentions. Many people fall in love with puppies because of their cuteness, or they want to make their children happy. However, puppies soon grow bigger, so due your research on the breed you choose.   Make sure you know what your true intentions are. If you are looking for unconditional love and a companion, a new dog may be in your future!

Your living space. Your dog needs a comfortable space to grow and live. Bigger dogs will need more space and a fenced-in yard or an on-leash exercise plan.  Appropriate exercise is not only good for growth, it is also a mental exercise and makes the pup more content and "liveable". Some smaller dogs may prefer to be indoors, while working breeds can be larger and have the potential to outgrown your available grounds.   Consider your home environment, and what kind of a dog you would like to add to your family, before you choose a specific dog.
