Other
things to consider
Great Dane dogs are not toys
they are living beings. If you have children in your family, it's
necessary to show them and teach them the importance of taking care of
the new dog, as well as loving and respecting the new dog. This will
help your children to join in the job of raising a dog. This teaches
them how to love and recognize the different stages that a dog goes
through during growth and integration into the family routine.
The need for sufficient space
in the first time dog owner's home is a very important factor. It is
true that animals usually, adapt to their living spaces – be it a house
or apartment – but it's necessary for a pet to live comfortably, clean,
and be able to enjoy the space that they are given. For example, you
wouldn't want to put a Great Dane in a mini apartment since in a year he
will weigh more than 40 kilograms and his size will double. If you do
not have a garden or a park where you can take your dog out every day,
you will want to consider getting a smaller dog that does not need as
much vigorous exercise. The Great Dane breed specifically needs to be
able to get a lot of fresh air and room to run around.
Please
consider
Dog Health Insurance
 as the Great Dane can have very expensive
veterinary bills.
