The global Corona pandemic has turned our lives upside down in recent months. There is probably hardly an area that has not been affected in some way by the virus. For example, some prospective dog owners may be asking themselves whether this is the right time to get a puppy.
We have therefore taken a closer look at this question and will now discuss the pros and cons of buying a puppy in times of Corona.
It is generally known that contact with dogs can have a positive effect on general well-being. Especially in a time when social contacts are often scarce and worries about the future are the order of the day, the acquisition of a puppy can provide distraction and sometimes even counteract possible depression to a certain extent.
Another point in favour of getting a puppy, in our opinion, is the fact that a dog inevitably brings activity into your everyday life. After all, you have to walk your puppy several times a day. The fresh air and exercise not only have a positive effect on your mood but can also help to strengthen your immune system.
Although the acquisition of a puppy generally brings advantages even in times of Corona, some points speak against the four-legged addition to the family or should at least be considered in advance.
One of these is certainly possible contact restrictions, which come into effect depending on the infection and can, for example, make it impossible to attend dog school. This can be a problem that should not be underestimated, especially for beginners in dog owners who are dependent on support in the education of their four-legged friends.
Another point to consider when acquiring a puppy due to the current situation is that travel restrictions may delay collection from the breeder.
This is because, depending on the incidence of infection, it is quite conceivable that one's place of residence or that of the breeder may develop into a risk area and it may not be possible to travel to and from the area for a certain period without further ado.
Of course, this does not necessarily have to happen. Nevertheless, it can make sense to look for a breeder in the immediate vicinity, if this is possible for the dog breed in question.
In this way, possible problems when taking over the puppy can be avoided in advance.
As long as Corona is an issue, there is always the risk that dog owners will have to go into quarantine. In this case, it is of course also forbidden to walk one's dog.
If you decide to buy a puppy, you should ideally think about who can take care of the little four-legged friend for a few days in an emergency.
After all, an officially ordered domestic quarantine does not change anything about the natural needs that a puppy has. Even though the risk may be manageable, it is therefore worth being prepared and ensuring the care of the young dog at all times.
Keeping a dog requires an enormous amount of time and the average life expectancy of a four-legged friend can be over 10 years, depending on the breed. The decision to purchase a puppy should therefore not be taken lightly.
This is especially true in the current situation. Before you decide to buy a puppy, you should therefore think carefully about whether you really want to and are able to take care of the four-legged friend permanently.
As long as you take the points mentioned in this article into account, unnecessary problems can be largely avoided even in times of pandemic and we are sure that you will enjoy the exciting everyday life with your puppy to the fullest and will not want to miss your little four-legged friend any more.
