A dog’s a commitment. But what if you’re not sure that you’re ready for do ownership?

FlexPetz is offering to let you rent a dog:

This dial-a-dog convenience comes at a steep price: There’s a one-time $150 orientation session with a trainer, an annual administration fee of $99.95, a monthly membership fee of $49.95 and daily rates as high as $39.95 for Fridays and weekend days.

An alternative might be to offer to dog-sit a friend or work colleague’s dog when they go on vacation.

“Renting” a dog as if you’re rentingĀ  a car sounds as if it will be stressful for the dog. Dogs are pack animals and love to be part of a family. They need a routine. If they’re switching packs all the time, it must be stressful.
