The trend of keeping multiple dogs is increasing. Many people strive to make their dog's life as species-appropriate as possible, and for a pack animal, this naturally includes being able to live with other dogs. However, this does not mean that every dog is happy when another one moves in! The compatibility between two, three, or four dogs must be right for them to feel comfortable and get along well. Therefore, careful consideration must be given when selecting the new housemate, and their introduction should be thoughtfully planned. Additionally, the owner must ask themselves how many dogs they can accommodate in their life, as it is not about indiscriminately hoarding animals, but about a lifestyle where the group enjoys living together while still allowing space for the needs of each individual. Clarissa v. Reinhardt is a convinced and enthusiastic advocate of multi-dog ownership.
