Good Pets for Families With Kids

If you’ve recently had kids, you may be a little hesitant about bringing a pet into the home. While you are right to be cautious, there are a variety of pets, especially dogs, that can be great with kids. In this blog we’ll mention a few dog breeds that do well with kids and which should be at the top of your list for your next pet.

Boxer

While you may think of a Boxer as a large dog, they are actually one of the best dogs for a family with kids. Boxers are a people-oriented dog breed and like to be close to their pack (you and your kids) at all times. They are very energetic and require a lot of exercise and interaction.

Labrador Retriever

Another popular breed for families with kids is the Labrador Retriever. This breed loves to please its owners and loves to play with pack/family members. Labs love to swim and will tire your kids out due to their high energy.

Golden Retriever

Another immensely popular breed with kids is the Golden Retriever.  This is one of the most popular dog breeds in the U.S. and abroad, due to their intelligence and love for children. Make sure to install a large dog door if you’re going to bring a Golden Retriever in your home, as he or she will want to play outside for long periods of time.
