5 Signs You Might Be Obsessed With Your Dog

It is no secret that Gen Z and Millennial individuals are adopting dogs rather than having children. These people consider their dogs to be their kids and spoil them similarly. Do you think you might be obsessed with your dog? If you can identify with any of the following traits, you definitely have an affinity for your fur baby.

Their Schedule Is Your Schedule

You may have a life of your own, but does it also revolve around your dog? Either you’re working from home and spending every waking moment with them, or you’re at work constantly checking your puppy cameras to see what they’ve been up to all day. A sure sign that their schedule is your schedule is if you cancel plans or leave early from hanging out with friends so that you can get back to your dog and shower them with love.

You Talk to Them As if They’ll Respond

All pet owners might be guilty of this, but we often find ourselves talking to our dogs as if they’ll respond to us. If you’re the owner of multiple dogs, you most likely ask each of them where the others are—spoiler alert, they’ll just stare at you lovingly, but that’s a good enough response for us!

You Pamper & Spoil Them Like They’re a Real Baby

You might be obsessed with your dog if you always put them first and constantly buy them new toys or treats every time you run to the store. You’re willing to spend the big bucks on human-grade food because your dog deserves the best. Some pet owners will even give their dogs probiotics because a healthy dog is a happy dog.

You Send Unsolicited Photos of Them to Friends & Family

We understand that sometimes your dog is way too cute not to snap a quick photo of them. If you’re taking a picture, you might as well show them off and send it to everyone on your contact list. And the best part of this, you have no shame and will continue to send pictures even if your friends or family don’t want them because who can resist that adorable face?

You Couldn’t Imagine Life Without Them

Finally, you couldn’t imagine living life without them, and thinking about the day you need to say goodbye forever is something that brings up a lot of emotion. If your pet is older, you’re most likely already pre-planning a memorial for them and booking an end-of-life photoshoot so that you can have pictures forever.

Bonus: You Think Their Paws Smell Like Fritos

We all know you sniff your dog’s paws, and we all know they smell exactly like Fritos. This is a widespread trait among younger dog parents, and it’s the equivalent of smelling the top of a baby’s head.

So, do you think you have an obsession with your dog? Of course, you do! Nothing can compare to our fur babies—they give us loyalty, love, and happiness. We have no idea where we would be in life without them.
