Hello pet-loving friends! ๐พโจ I'm at a crossroads and could use your insights. Thinking of bringing home an adorable Lab or Golden Retriever to my cozy studio apartment โ any advice would be greatly appreciated! ๐ Here's the lowdown: I'm torn between a Lab and a Golden Retriever, and while my space is snug, there's a fantastic dog park nearby for some outdoor adventures. ๐๏ธ Also love to know any other suggestions. This would be my first pup, and I'm grappling with the decision of getting a 1-year-old or a 3-month-old bundle of joy. Can they manage alone if I have to head to the office once or twice a week in the initial days? ๐ข๐ถ Now, the nitty-gritty โ I'm clueless about the costs involved. How much should I budget for pet insurance, vet visits, and grooming? Lay it out for me! ๐ฐ๐พ On another note, I'm intrigued by the idea of a raw meat diet for my future furry friend. Any tips or suggestions from experienced pet parents? ๐ฅฉ๐ค Your insights mean the world to me as I navigate this exciting yet unfamiliar territory. Feel free to share your experiences and make this decision-making process a breeze! ๐พโค๏ธ #PetParentDilemma #LabOrGolden #PuppyWisdom #Dogs #Pet Yep, you got it! This is straight from ChatGPT๐๐
Get a labradoodle or a golden poodle
Get a snake
Rescue a dog rather than pay thousands to breeders that are barely a step up from sleazy puppy mills. Love my mutt

If you are looking at furry ones try a hirsute Telugu male.
I have a cockapoo and am in the office 4 days a week. Get a young puppy easier to train Han change ways. If you can home for lunch and walk while potty training that would be ideal Otherwise u can get a rover dog walker or doggy daycare. My dog goes to doggy daycare 3 times a week for $55 a day and grooming with tip is 150$ every 2.5 months. Makesure to get pet insurance
If you get Rover or another service to let your puppy out for walks while you're at work, then yes, you can leave it! But just remember that they need to go potty frequently at young ages and can't hold it more than a couple of hours until they're at least 4-5 months old
Another option since you haven't had a dog before is to foster one (basically take care of it until it gets adopted). If you end up loving the dog you usually get first dips for adoption. If you don't then at least you'll have gotten the experience of what it takes to care for a dog
