Puppies are a big commitment and they require a lot of time and effort. At a minimum, puppies need exercise, food, water and time for socialisation, cuddles and play. Luckily, there are lots of ways to fit these things into your life.

Have someone walk your dog

Have breakfast with your dog, put on your makeup or shave with your dog, run around and have your dog fetch your shoes and other important items. Dont forget to include the walk to school or the shops can be a great outing for your dog as well. Make them part of your lifestyle.

Consider getting your pet a friend

If you have only one dog, he may benefit from a friend to keep him company. It can be okay to be away from home during the day if your dog copes well, but if your pooch is not coping, chat to your local vet about whether a second fur-friend may make your dog feel better being home alone. You could even try taking it in turns with your friends` dogs to begin with (as long as they all know each other well and are supervised).
