It’s absolutely not fair. It’s expensive but daycare is the only option you have without being cruel to the dog. I was in the same boat.
Daily walks are the minimum. They’re incredibly social animals
Completely unfeasible in my experience. I have a dog, but I also have a gf that works from home, only way it works.
Adopt a retired racing greyhound. They are crate trained and used to being confined for long periods. Low maintenance and surprisingly low energy. We've had 4 now. They take retirement seriously and sleep most of the day.
No. Dogs can get anxiety and depression too. Unless you’re willing to shell out $$$ for a good and engaging daycare, it’s better to wait for another job to get a dog.
Get a robot vacuum
I had a dog before I started in consulting. It’s not fair to him at all. Live with SO who can take care of him during the week and we have a walker. Also not fair to the SO
Same situation as PwC1. I would never get a new dog in this industry. That’s not fair. Wait until at least one of your schedule/job changes.
Dont do it. MAYBE do what Capgemini1 does
Wouldn't life just be better if we could take our dogs with us to the client site??? -sails back to unrealistic dream world-
Mostly driving. Home office was St Louis and client was in Kansas City
It depends. I’m more inclined to say no, but it depends on what breed and if you’re getting a puppy. Puppies need a lot of attention and care while they’re young so not the greatest idea to leave them for long stretches. Older dogs maybe ok
Daily walks are not enough. Imagine being stuck in a small space with nothing to entertain you for 5-6 hours at a time... especially as a puppy.
Daycare is the only responsible answer. They’re socialized, exercised, and cared for. Worth the money if having a dog is important to you.
My wife and are in a similar situation. We alternate having a walker M/W/F and then daycare T/Th
It’s doable - with a walker. It also depends on the dog and breed to be honest. I’ve had some dogs who are super high energy and needed the outlet / had to be crated when we were out so they couldn’t be left alone for that long, so would have had to use a daycare. We’ve also had quieter, more laid back dogs who by their own volition sleep most of the day and act more like cats. We use a walker, walk them ourselves for 30 mins morning and night (which equals being left alone for only 5-6hrs before a walk). So make the choice on breed /personality very carefully
Saints and BMD are actually great for apartments. While they are big they are typically lazy and don’t need much activity during the day. But you will need to make sure in the morning and after work that they are taken out and get a good long walk!
We do 2x wfh, 2x twice daily dog walks, and 1x daycare. Plus dog park in the evening and or weekend.
If you are gone most week why get the dog?
I’m fostering a dog right now that ended up being more long term than planned for. SO works away from home and comes home midday but I feel so guilty. I’d love to keep the handsome guy but I don’t feel like I could do it knowing he’s stuck in a kennel all day - good trial run I guess
