I had an English bulldog named Millie, she passed not too long ago though.
Her kidneys failed sadly. I miss my little piggy! Rip Millie. Get an
English bulldog guys. They are amazing, funny, and cute,
Not being a troll, so please have a look at the link if you think you want
an English bulldog – they have a LOT of health problems. BIG $$$ at the
vet, and the experience will rip your heart out. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-36916431
Yep. Problem with dogs in general is they can end up costing a lot in vet
bills. That’s partially why some people pay more from reputable breeders,
to make sure their dogs are as healthy as possible and save money in the
long run…..but soo many dog breeds have soo many quirks, that at some
time in their life they’re probably going to end up with life altering or
life long ailments. That’s also partially why they’re soo expensive, not
just because breeders are greedy, but if someone can drop $4k to buy a
puppy, then they can probably also afford its healthcare.
That’s why I don’t keep pets, I’ve had over a dozen different dogs in my
family growing up….I think I’ve had enough. I can’t possibly give them
enough attention, keep them company long enough through out the day, and I
would hate to have to choose between them and a $3000 vet bill.
I think it’s responsible for potential pet owners to realize that if they
can’t provide everything a pet needs, can’t afford all the vet bills worry
free, then it’s more prudent to not have them at all, otherwise you’re just
causing yourself a lot of heartache in the long run…and potentially
reducing the quality of the animals life.
People who buy pets need to do so with the realization in the front of
their mind that they will be keeping that animal for its entire life….and
that the day will come eventually where the animal will die in front of
them too. I’ve seen pets come and go, and while I’m numb to it by now, it
can be a horrific experience, especially with a higher level species like a
dog who you will develop strong bonds with.
Most of those dogs in the pound are cheap common breeds that one can get
for free or buy for $40 maximum from some guy selling unwanted litters.
That’s why they end up in the pound….the people who had them had no
business having them in the first place, because they can’t cover the costs
of owning the pet. If you’re poor and reading this…..sorry, but you have
no business owning any breed of dog. It’s sad that we live in a world where
the same stuff that would get children taken away……happen to dogs all
the time without anyone blinking an eye.
Well said. Mixed breed dogs are much, MUCH more healthy. Even healthy
animals need medical attention and that can run 4 figures easy (geez, just
annual shots for a dog are about $200- $300).
I have a English Bulldog his name is Charlie and he is 8 weeks old and has
light blue eyes no lie he was expensive I still love him and love you guys
hope I made your day!?
I wouldn’t trust a child with autism to have any pet. Autism is often
accompanied by violence or lack of empathy. An animal shouldn’t have to
suffer at the hands of a mentally disabled human, even if they do survive
or even if the abuse is sparse.
hmmm i bought a puppy and the vet told me made a big mistake cu they
overheat and stuff like that….pfff i have an ac in my house for summers
when its very hot and in the winter i have a big garden if he needs plus im
aware off all the other things
