Help Choosing

In this section we offer information, based on our experience, to help you make the various decision you need to make as a dog owner or perspective dog owner.
Choosing a Breed Purebred breeds are all bred for a purpose. Your dog is going to be your companion for the next 10-15 years of your life. It is important to choose a dog that is going to have traits that are compatible with your lifestyle.
Choosing a Breeder Here we list points to remember when choosing a breeder.
Choosing
Food

We cannot stress the importance of good quality food and proper nutrition in the health and well being of you dog. Every aspect of a dogs life depends on what they are being fed. There are many good dog foods out there. It is a very competitive industry and thus is full of misinformation. The best advice is that there is no one brand that is suitable for every situation, and in fact there are some situations that there are no brands suitable and you need to supplement your dog. You need to do your research.

Choosing a Supplier There are just a few points you should know about when choosing a place to buy pet supplies. We have found that big box stores are great to buy food but not so good for non-food supplies. However, it may be convenient for you to buy these supplies here.
Choosing a Veterinarian

We have had much experience dealing with different veterinarians. We have found that some veterinarians are excellent at what they do. However, the veterinary business in North America is not without problems. For your dogs well being and your mental and fiscal health you need to do very careful research.
