Adopting an Adult Dog
: Choosing the right dog

Adult dogs make great companions and, with the right care, can provide your home with many years of fun and enjoyment. However, with so many different breeds and cross-breeds to choose from, choosing the right dog for you and your lifestyle can be quite a task.

Before making your decision consider the amount of space you have in your home to accommodate a dog and whether or not you have enough spare time to it give it the level of attention and training it requires. Some breeds (particularly long-haired breeds) also require regular grooming, so consider whether or not you have time for regular maintenance.


If you already have a breed in mind, you can learn more about its needs and characteristics by visiting our Breed Gallery. The PEDIGREE Breed Gallery features essential information on the origins, temperament, average size and weight of almost 150 different breeds. Visit here to explore it now.
