how can I keep my dog from getting lonely anyone?

Question

I want to get a pet dog, but i have to work an eight hour job like most ppl nowadays. how can i keep my dog from getting lonely? Is there a way to keep him entertained while i m gone? do places like petsmart have doggy day care?

Answer 1

With your circumstances, I don't think a dog is the right pet for you. Dogs need to spend time with you to be happy and it sounds like you will really be just a part time dog owner. I have the same problem, I would love a dog, but just do not have the time to be an ideal dedicated dog owner. :(

Answer 2

You could bring him to a doggy day care type place, or get a dog sitter. Having 2 dogs may help so the one isn't as lonely!

Answer 3

Doggy day care is very very expensive.

If you get two dogs they'll have each other.

Answer 4

Doggy style.
