6. You have a tight budget

Taking in a dog can be expensive. Their food isn’t cheap, or the toys, and so are the vet check-ups, and other medications that they may need. And even if you are only buying them cheap food and you skip vet check-ups, you will put their health and condition at risk.

That is a VERY cruel thing to do.

7. You lack patience

Dogs are exactly like children. That means you also need to have a lot of patience with them. They will throw tantrums just like a toddler, will protest some decisions that you’re making, and so on.

So, if you lack patience, don’t get a dog!

8. You also lack time

Dogs need time. You have to spend time with them, feed them, walk them, cuddle with them, groom them, bathe them, and so on. You got the picture. The opposite of doing so can damage their condition and mental health.

You need to offer them love and time.

9. You are allergic to dogs

If you have a dog allergy, then you shouldn’t get a dog. It doesn’t sound like a good idea to trigger your allergies and make you feel ill constantly. Because eventually, you will have to do something about it.
