It takes a toll on the pet being alone! Even if you manage to feed them during the day.
The above is not meant to overwhelm you. You will soon learn to ace all of it. Just give it sometime. I'd suggest, get a pup as an A1.
For now, you can try finding a flatmate who has a pet maybe? That way you'll get to do all the fun stuff/pampering without primarily being responsible for the challenging part.
My friend had a cat but she couldn't spend time with him. It eventually fell sick and she had to take him to her home. She was then working in Tier 2!
What is this platform coming to.
It is deteriorating very fast.
Also does your society allow? What will you do when you visit home etc need to be accounted for.
Cats are easy to raise - less demanding and no society frowns on cats. Even your flatmates won't shout if you have a cat.
Dogs are 5 times more difficult to raise - they need to go for a walk, Food on time over attachment, regular bath and vet visits etc. Dogs maybe more loving and loyal - but raising it is not a cakewalk.
And even if you raise a dog - it will be a dashhund, beagle or some miniature ones; you won't be able to raise a GSD or Rottie in a small apartment. Especially when you are not in the house from morning to night.
Don't adopt without taking everything into consideration. Dogs get overly attached in 10 to 15 months, after that leaving the same is cruel - so think and decide.
This is very important,
Most societies/landlords don't even allow your girlfriends/women to come to your apartment. To avoid police/prostitution/sexual complaint issues.
If they don't allow - human beings (especially a girlfriend) to visit your apartments. How will they allow a dog or a cat in the apartment?
it is about quality time.
it will also give excuse for leave once in a while.
and it is good for an animal and your mental heath to find love in each other even in not 24 hours a day.
wrong place to ask and look for real dogs and cats.
we want cat supremacy.
And marry a guy after meeting him 2 times over coffee - reinforcing patriarchal norms.
Shocked to see even the most independent women (in law firms) who were 274 feminists back in college days doing this.
Get one of the little cactuses and sit it on your desk in your cubicle. That should do for now.
But anyways my point was that since we have to search/look for dogs in the city we usually only find helpless dogs of people who bought/adopted them but office did not allow them to take care plus Mumbai is expensive, so they eventually give up their dogs to breeders and we buy them from there. So we’ve noticed that most of the Mumbai’s working population can not really raise a dog so I’d suggest you do not to, if you actually love dogs.
Just like fish there are breeds of dogs that are more delicious and exquisite. Indian Kutta is not that good. The Nureongi (mostly imported from Korea) is most often used as a livestock dog, raised for its meat, and not commonly kept as pets. There are others including labradors, retrievers and cocker spaniels, and that the dogs slaughtered for their meat may include former pets.
