If you have a dog, you might find yourself wondering at some point whether your four-legged friend would like to have a friend of their own.
At first, the pros of getting another dog may seem to outweigh the cons, but you should think carefully before taking any action.
Two dogs may be double the joy, but they are also double the cost โ for everything from food to their healthcare to their insurance.
Your household circumstances should be considered, too.
Timing matters, too. The first dog should be properly trained by the time a second animal moves in, โotherwise it will be difficult with the secondโ, says Franck.
