As many as 67% of American homes have at least one family pet, with 63.4 million families owning at least one dog. In cities like Springfield, we see the pattern of dog parents sustaining its progression. The percentage of households owning a dog is expected to continue increasing as rescuing animals continues to grow, and as the health benefits of owning a dog become more apparent. After all, dogs are not just property or animals. To their owners and families, they are full-fledged members of the family, needing care and affection just as much as any human. They need to be loved and spoiled.
And so, with the joys of pet ownership also come duties for proper care. These can consist of ensuring the health and wellness of your furry best friend, as well as creating a setting that is safe and aware of your pet's restrictions and special needs. Part of this entails maximizing your dog's comfort, particularly as they develop over time. After all, an energetic puppy will have slightly different physical needs than a senior dog.
