Some of the things to consider before adopting are cost, noise level, space and commitment. We have written a little about the five most popular breeds to get you started.

Dogs have been the best companion of man since times immemorial. One cannot forget that, Ulysses was recognized by his dog Argus when he returned after 20 long years. A dog can really do wonders especially for those who are physically challenged. This special animal certainly makes the world a better place to live in. It could be any dog for that matter, but a service dog is specially trained in order to assist people who have disabilities. These types of dogs are not of any different breeds, but are like regular dogs except that they have special training to perform tasks for people who have disabilities like impaired vision or hearing or those who are confined to a wheelchair.

About 40% of dogs suffer from allergies everyday. It could be a change in your dog’s environment, a new type of dog food or something a little more difficult to determine. Most allergies are very minor, however, you should always take your dog to the veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.

There are five known types of dog allergies:

  1. Inhalant allergies
  2. Flea allergies
  3. Food allergies
  4. Bacteria allergies
  5. Contact allergies
