I'm thinking about getting a dog. What are the things I should consider first?

1. Do you have enough time to care for and train a pet?
2. What type of pet would best fit your lifestyle and budget?
3. Are you prepared to provide adequate exercise, food, and veterinary care?
4. How much space do you have in your home?
5. Is there someone in your household who is willing to take on the responsibility of caring for the pet?
