Pros

• Small dogs are generally very adorable. Their size means they don't take up a lot of space, so you can easily keep them in your home without worrying about their space requirements. Some small dogs are even excellent on a leash, making them ideal for anyone who loves to go out and exercise with their dog.

• Small dogs love being around people and get along well with other pets and children. Because of their small size, they don't pose a threat to your home or loved ones. They're great first-time dog owners and make great pets for seniors looking for company.

• They don't require a lot of exercises. Small dogs may be small, but they still need training because they get bored if they sit around all day. However, the amount of activity your dog needs varies depending on the size of your dog and how active it usually is. Small dogs can still be involved, but on the other side, you won't have to worry about added stress by giving them too much exercise.

• These types of dogs are generally easier to train. Because their height is comparable to that of a toddler, dogs with this body shape tend to be easier to train than more giant breeds. While some larger breeds may require more time, smaller dogs are less likely to be destructive.

Cons

• While small dogs are adorable, they can be prone to health problems. Because of their size, small breeds can't protect themselves from diseases. They're also more prone to infections since their skin is thinner and doesn't offer as much protection as larger breeds do. If you're looking for a perfect dog for an apartment or city environment, this isn't the type of dog for you. Small dogs can also have difficulty breathing and overheating if you don't have an air conditioner.
• Most small dogs require at least some type of grooming. Because of their size, they can't take baths as often as larger dogs can. They'll probably need to be brushed with a brush a couple of times each week and bathed every couple of months. If you're going to adopt a small dog, it's essential to keep these grooming requirements in mind before deciding which dog would be right for you.
• Small dogs have smaller teeth, making it harder to eat certain types of dog food. While they're easier to train if they're purebred, even mixed breeds may require some exceptional puppy food or wet food, depending on the ingredients included in the mix.

Conclusion

Small dogs make great first-time dog owners and are a lot of fun. While many small breeds are prone to health problems, there are still plenty of good small dog breeds out there for you to choose from. If you want a pet that's easy to keep an eye on but doesn't require much exercise or grooming, you should consider a small dog!
