Dogs are social animals, which means they thrive when allowed to live in packs with other people and dogs. If you are away from home a lot, you may want to consider adopting a companion for your pet. Here are some tips on choosing the right one.

Consider your dog’s personality and age first. If you’ve just adopted a puppy and he’s only a few years old, you may want to adopt a dog that’s about the same age. Young dogs are energetic, and they are likely to enjoy playing with each other. If your dog is older, you’ll want to choose a low-energy companion.

You should also consider what kind of dog would fit well into your family. If you live in an apartment, you’ll likely want to look into adopting a small breed.
