During the pandemic, many individuals have thought about making some life changes. If you gained weight during a lengthy lockdown, you might be dead set on joining a gym once you safely can. You might want to change all of your furniture and décor if you feel like it no longer matches your personality.

Many individuals and families are also considering getting new pets now that the pandemic is not such a huge concern. Some have bought that new pet already. For example, maybe you’re seriously thinking about getting a dog, either from a breeder or your neighborhood shelter.

If so, you should know that some lifestyle changes come with your new pet. Let’s talk about those to more easily determine whether this is the right move for you.

You Have to Consider How Energetic the Animal Is

You should certainly think about how young or energetic the animal is before you get it. If you adopt an older dog who doesn’t have a ton of puppy energy, that might be best for you if you’re an older individual yourself. Your physical condition will matter as well.

If you’re disabled, you can always hire a disability lawyer if someone caused your condition. You can modify your home and only accept the kinds of work that you can easily do.

A young, energetic dog will not understand why you won’t run around in the backyard and play with it, though, or take it for several walks per day. The only dog that will probably be appropriate for you is an older or special needs one.

Research the dog breed you’re going to get, and think about its age before you move forward. If you don’t, the new situation will probably make both you and the animal unhappy.

Dogs Can Be Expensive

You should also look at your finances closely before you get a dog. If you have some disposable income, you’re in good shape to make this move. If you are barely scraping by as it is, it’s irresponsible to get a dog at this point in your life.

You’ll have to pay for the animal, but you’ll also need to pay for a vet to neuter it if you decide to do that. You’ll have to pay for regular veterinary checkups, as well as medication, food, a bed, toys, treats, and much more.

Whenever you get an animal like a dog, you can be sure there will be some expenses you didn’t expect. Purchasing dog health insurance from Bivvy can help you cover some of the previously mentioned recurring costs and any unexpected ones like accidents or illnesses.

They Can Cheer You Up

You might be dealing with anxiety after this past year. So many people are. Covid-19 has caused a mental health crisis in addition to all of the deaths and sick individuals.

Dogs are usually overjoyed to see you, and they can cheer you up when you are feeling down. Maybe you don’t want to go on antidepressant medication, or you feel like what you’re on is not working.

Your dog can make you feel happy without pharmaceutical intervention. They can be a constant companion for you, and they’re always ready to greet you when you get home from work, so long as you treat them well. They can bring you a lot of joy if you feel like that’s lacking in your life.

 

They Can Help You Exercise

If you did gain some weight during the pandemic, you’ll find that a dog can be a huge motivation for you in that area too. If you get a younger animal or an energetic breed such as a husky, they will need you to walk them multiple times every day. You’ll have to like exploring your neighborhood because that dog will want to drag you down the street every chance it gets.

When the weather is nice, that sounds great. Keep in mind, though, that your dog will probably still want to go out and do its business, even if it’s raining, snowing, or just about anything else.

Having the dog as an exercise excuse can be a double-edged sword. It will be there wanting to go out whether you feel like it right then or not. Maybe you won’t want to do it if you feel ill one morning, but the dog won’t care about your condition.

Consider carefully before you get your new pet so that you can give them the best possible home life.
