Are You a Single Pet Parent? | Canine Chat: Dog Tales and Other ...

Pros and Cons

I work with many single dog owners. These?pet parents, after careful thought and much research decided they wanted a dog in their life and will raise the dog?alone. ?I also work with people who due to a divorce became a single pet parent. ?As most of? us know, it is time consuming to properly raise a puppy or train any dog.?? Not easy for a family, let alone a single pet parent.?
