NOTICE: I NO LONGER RECOMMEND CANIDAE DOG FOOD. DUE TO A CHANGE IN FORMULA AND MANUFACTURING FACILITIES, DOGS ARE GETTING SICK ON THIS BRAND.
I was considering getting a cocker spaniel pup of 6-8 weeks old. However I work 5 days a week for eight hours and it take me an hour each way to travel to and from work.
I tried to research if I should or not get the pup because I do not want to leave it alone, however there seem to be people who say yes and people who say no.
Which one please?
Thanks
Confused!
Answer A puppy that age(of any breed) needs to be fed 5 to 6x daily. They need to be taken outside every 2 hours to get housebroken. No puppy can be left alone 10 hours a day. I can't believe anyone would say "yes" to that situation.
And once they're 12 weeks and have had all their puppy vacs - they need to be walked twice a day for at least half an hour.
So, unfortunately, it doesn't sound like having a dog is in the cards for you right now.
