Dogs are man’s best friend and companions for life. Besides the many practical uses as guide dogs, watch and guard dogs, hunting dogs and sheep dogs, the animal has a therapeutic effect on the human psyche of the people in its environment. When we pet a dog, our blood pressure drops and our heart beat slows and because your dog needs regular exercise, he will also keep you in shape.
You would do anything to give that adorable, cheeky dog of yours a long and happy life, wouldn’t you? With this website, we want to inform you about your dog’s needs, and so hope to be of service to you and your dog.
Nearly everyone loves dogs, but before buying a dog, it is important to ask yourself the following:

· Will there usually be someone at home, during the day as well?
· What about going on holiday?
· Can you afford to keep a dog?

To take care of a dog, you will have to be ready for a great deal of expense: not just food, toys, bowls, a collar and lead, dog bed or basket, but animal boarding costs when you want to go on holiday and veterinarian fees to get your dog immunised against illness.

· Can you provide your dog with plenty of exercise?
· Does your family have room for a dog?
· Can you care for your dog’s coat every single time it is necessary?

The dog is a social animal that loves company. A dog actually needs you for him to be happy. Your dog will be your loyal supporter; if you respect your dog, he will respect you. If you take time to train him, you will do yourself and your dog a great service and he will be able to adapt to your lifestyle more easily.

Your dog needs space. A home with access to a garden is ideal. Just like you, your dog needs fresh, clean air and sunshine to stay healthy! Your dog will need his own place to sleep, although in practice a dog will always pick several places to sleep. He should always, however, have access to a spot where your family spends most of their time: preferably the living room.
