Your dog is an excellent companion and you want to make sure you are able to look after her. You’ve been considering bringing a new furry friend into your home. How can you tell if your dog is ready for this new adventure?

Your dog is likely used to being the center of attention in your household, so you will need to think about how she will feel about sharing the spotlight. She will likely still be able to have some time to herself, but there will be a lot of times when she will be interacting with your new addition. Will this mean she has a new playmate or will she treat her as an adversary? If the former is the case, she may be ready to handle this. If the latter is true, it could take some time for your dog to get used to this idea. For more information, click here to contact your local Marietta, GA vet.
