Is Giving a Puppy as a Gift a Good Idea?

Do you know the feeling when you want to give someone a super special gift? One that they would truly love, one they would never forget? Simply to show how much they mean to you and how happy you are to have them in your life?

So off you go, trying to find that special gift. You search for something online and go to tons of malls, but you just can’t find something, that is special enough. And then a thought enters your mind: Didn’t he /she always want a pup? Couldn’t I surprise him/her with that?

That’s quite a simple question, and the answer is even simpler: No! Under no circumstances, no circumstances whatsoever, should you give a puppy as a gift. And, really, this does not only apply to dogs, but pets in general.

Few things change one’s life like a puppy does. The responsibility is huge. And not only does one need to be there for the dog, the expenses to care for him are substantial too. Giving a puppy as a gift would be like surprising someone with a baby.

It’s the same thing: You can never be sure that another person is ready to accept such responsibility, and you cannot just throw it at someone else. Even when you know a person really wants a puppy, it’s still not your decision.

Furthermore, there is a special chemistry between a dog and the owner, which many people compared to love at first sight; it’s not up to you to decide which dog is best for another person.

Another thing to keep in mind is not to give a puppy as a gift to someone who has lost their dog recently. This could easily create very awkward moments between you and that person.

There is only one exception to this rule, only one situation in which is it acceptable to give a puppy as a gift: When the future owner has already selected the dog and all you do is pay for it.

In this case, though, the gift won’t be much of a surprise, but I am sure it will be greatly appreciated anyway.
