Is a Dogo Argentino Puppy a good fit for Washi?

Common mistakes to avoid

Which kind of pet suits Washi

The first week

The first week is about routine, not excitement. Feed at consistent times, keep the same food initially, and let the pet approach people in its own time rather than being passed around. The vaccination record travels with the pet and we are contactable if you have questions.

Costs beyond the purchase

Plan for the running costs, not just the one-off. Boosters, deworming, food, grooming and the occasional vet visit are the ongoing commitment. Around Washi, it is worth identifying your nearest vet before the pet arrives.

Feeding and daily routine

Set meal times and stick to them; free-feeding makes it hard to notice when a pet goes off its food. Change diet slowly and only after the pet has settled. Washi's climate means moisture in the air can encourage skin and ear issues if grooming slips, so hydration deserves attention.
