We break down the
differences between
these two popular pets so
you can figure out which
one suits you best!
Food
Dogs should be fed kibble twice a day, at
morning and at night (but young puppies
should eat three or four times per day).
All dogs need 24/7 access to water.
Attention
Dogs typically require more attention
than cats.
Training ability
Their pack mentality makes them easy to
train. They want you to be proud of them so
they’re more likely to do what you ask.
Noise levels
Dogs can bark quite a bit (though, you
can train them not to!), so they’re often
the noisier of the two.
Potty
training
You will have to spend
about 4 months
training a puppy to
wait to go to the
bathroom until it’s
outside.
Sleep
Dogs sleep 12 to 14 hours per day.
Personality
Because they’re pack hunters in the wild, dogs typically like having people around.
They’re known for being friendly and spending lots of time playing.
