What to know about my first dog?

Okay, so I really want to get a dog – but not ANYTIME soon. I’m talking maybe a year to a year and a half from now. I’m thinking I’d like a Pem. Welsh Corgi.(I’m open to suggestions of course) They’re cute and I (based on the research I’ve done so far) seem to like their temperament. I DO plan on actually interacting with one soon LOL. They’re not TOO big and they’re not too small. I am willing to spend the time needed to interact with it, train it, walk it, and love it (of course). However I don’t know squat about puppies and their care (I know more about cats and kittens). Can someone here point me in the right direction? Any ideas, like a website I could go to or something else more creative? There is so much information out there I feel overwhelmed.

Also, opinions on the breed would be appreciated.

I live in a large one bedroom apartment. There is ample green space in my complex to walk and play with my future dog, not to mention the dog parks nearby. I plan on putting the dog on an pet health insurance plan (like I have for my two cats) and I feed only the most high quality foods. I love animals and while I love cats the most, I feel like I’m missing out on the joy of owning a dog. I am, however, under no illusions; if I find a dog is not right for me during the course of my pre-dog ownership research, I will not get one.

Is getting a pet insurance worth it?

I’m getting a 4 month old german shepherd soon that my friend is selling and she already has her shots and stuff. I was just wondering if its worth it to get a pet insurance and how much do they usually cost per month?

I saw a couple of posts on here ages ago about it being a scam, and now I am curious about the subject so I thought I would ask.
I agree with needing to save up big time if you don’t have insurance. It’s been 2,000 dollars in the last 3 months. I’m cashing in savings bonds to pay!
My dog is very small but she is not a puppy anymore.

I have a 5 year-old male cat who is a mixed breed. Recently I’ve had to take him to the vet because he had a blockage of struvite crystals in his urethra. The total amount I spent on him came to about 00. The vet said this could happen again. There is no way I can pay that much again. I’ll be paying off that amount for the next year.

I was looking into pet insurance and found a company that looked pretty promising. The only thing is that I don’t know what would count preexistingting condition. I don’t think this would count because there’s only a *chance* that it’ll happen again. The site says insurance would cover recurring illnesses, but I don’t know how to determine recurring from preexisting.

If anyone knows more about pet insurance or has any advice whatsoever in regards to pet insurance and pet care, let me know.

Best vehicle for beginners?

Okay, so I’m 24. Lived in Montreal since I was 16. No one I know here drives – it just isn’t really the thing to do. I never took driving lessons and don’t know anything about cars. In a few months I’ll be moving to a small town, and I’ll have to learn how to drive and buy a car.

I’ve done a bit of searching questions similar to mine about good first cars. It seems the general consensus is whatever’s low-maintenance and cheap on insurance, so I’ll do a bit more research on those things when the time comes. But right now I’m wondering about vehicle types.

I have a few pets, and we move around a lot, so a bigger vehicle seems more practical for our living conditions. Like a van, jeep, truck, etc. But they seem pretty hard on gas costs. There’s a lot of little cars I read about that are pretty good with mileage and general costs, but the size might be a problem.

So that’s my question. What’s the best type of vehicle for a beginner? Cost and handling-wise. Van, SUV, punch buggy, etc? Is it possible to get a bigger vehicle like a truck that’s cheap on gas? Sorry if I’m wordy, the car world is intimidating!
