ADVANTAGES OF AN OLDER PUPPY
When it comes to adding a new furry member to your family, many people instinctively think of bringing home a young, adorable puppy. However, there are several advantages to considering an older puppy, which can make the experience of pet ownership more rewarding and less demanding.
Advantages:
More developed bladders, so they can hold it more reliably for potty training.
A little more mature, so better impulse control and attention abilities.
More self-sufficient and better at being alone since they have been away from their siblings for quite a while.
Fewer surprises when it comes to temperament or personality (there are always some, but you can predict them better).
Fewer surprises on adult size since they will be close to their adult height. (Teething is pretty much done, so no land sharks!
Regular vaccinations, deworming, and veterinary check-ups have been done to ensure their well-being.
Older puppies have had more time to develop and are sturdier and more able to easily make the transition to a new home.
Older puppies have developed emotional maturity and patience, making it easier for them to establish a bond with their new family members.
They are often more attentive, affectionate, and capable of understanding cues and the behaviors you desire. This can lead to a deeper and more immediate connection, allowing you to form a strong bond and create a sense of companionship sooner than you might with a younger puppy.
