When people bring home a dog, it's not long before they start to think about adding a second into the mix. We break down three pros and three cons of growing from a single dog home to a two dog home.

Pros:
- A playmate / buddy for your dog.
- With multiple owners, each person has *their* dog.
- We have two hands, one for each dog, right?

Cons:
- Another dog to WWE with in your living room. Or worse, parkour off your furniture. Or even worse yet, your first dog loved being a solo dog and doesn’t appreciate, nor thrive, with a sibling.
- Doubled vet bills, boarding costs, food, etc.
- Can be more challenging handling two simultaneously versus one, no matter how well trained.
