🐶 Many people get a second dog to keep the first dog company. 🐶
They worry that their dog may be lonely when left alone. While this is a legitimate concern, it should not be the only factor when considering the addition of another pet to the family.
Dogs are inherently social animals that live well together in groups, but that does not mean that all dogs get along.
That being said, here are some steps for introducing a new pup as safely as possible:
1. Survey your family.
- Consider the needs of the entire family before picking out a new pet.
2. Leave your current dog home!
- There is no need to take your current dog along when you pick out a new dog.
3. Introduce the two dogs on neutral ground.
- To avoid territorial aggression, introduce the dogs in a place that is new to both.
4. Keep the dogs under control.
- Place each dog on a loose leash or head halter for the introduction.
5. Allow the dogs to investigate each other.
- It is normal for two dogs to circle and sniff each other when meeting.
6. Take the dogs home.
- Once the dogs tolerate each other and interact in a positive fashion, you may take them home.
7. Reduce rivalry.
- Provide each dog with his own food and water bowls and bed
8. Supervise playtime.
- Keep the dogs separate when you are not at home.
Having more pups is a real adventure, you just have to take it step by step!

"This cozy design provides protection from drafts and makes my little guy feel more secure and comfortable. I haven’t washed it yet, but I sew, and I can tell that is made to be used and washed (It seems quite sturdy.)
Spencer is a rescue dog, mostly Shih Tzu, 14 lbs; we have the medium, and he has a little extra room to shift around in. We are very pleased." - 5 Star Amazon Review by Linda B.

"As with all new pet-related items, there’s always that chance that your fur baby might not like it. Well, that wasn’t the case with this bed. I opened it and put it out, showed it to her, then went and did some stuff. I come back 20 mins later and she’s curled up inside. I put it at the foot of my bed so she can sleep with me but be extra warm and cozy. I was hesitant she wouldn’t like the caving aspect and that it would want to lay on her (she only goes under blankets if she’s freezing, she did that when we moved into our new place and there was no heat, found her buried in my duffle bag) but the cave roof stays up on its own and isn’t reliant on being held up by the animal's body. " - 5 Star Amazon Review
