Everyone has their preference and even avid dog lovers have a particular fondness for a dog breed or size. Pet owners are divided into two: those who love small pooches and those who prefer larger breeds. Some owners don’t mind raising both but there are major differences between small dog parents and big dog parents.

Fur Parents of Small Dogs:

1. Can travel with pets easily
   Because of their small size, small dogs can easily fit inside the car and be taken anywhere.

2. Can save up on dog food and other pet supplies
   Small dogs consume much less food than big dogs so the dog food supply can last longer.

3. Need to watch out for aggressive behavior
   Dogs of smaller breeds tend to be more aggressive when it comes to marking their territory, asking for food, or playing with children.

4. Need to deal with pet health problems more often
   Not only do small dogs suffer from more health problems but they are also prone to accidents as they can fit almost anywhere and hurt themselves.

Fur Parents of Big Dogs:

1. Can teach their dogs more tricks
   Big dogs are easier to train perhaps due to their good nature or eagerness to please their owners.

2. Can get the most out of morning walks
   Larger dog breeds have great endurance, so they are the perfect companions for hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities.

3. Need to clean up more fur and feces
   Parents of big dogs should be ready to clean up mountains of fur after another and the same goes for the wastes they leave behind in the backyard.

4. Need to watch their pet’s diet
   Because their large size requires more energy, big dogs have special nutritional requirements that fur parents should provide them with.\

Small dogs may come in tiny packages, but they can offer as much love as big dogs do. Big dogs may be bulky and large, but they love being babied like small dogs too. Each breed has its own pros and cons but the joy that comes from them, regardless of their size, remains the same.
