Factors to consider before

found that
8 percent of wedding ceremonies included pets.
While the the
couples of yesteryear might have left Fido at home,
many of today’s couples want their four-legged friends to be
there on their big day. Though no studies to date have examined
which animals are most likely to make an appearance
at couples’ nuptials, it’s fair to assume that dogs, which tend
to get out of the house more than most other types of pets,
are the most common furry bridesmaids, groomsmen or ring
bearers.
Before including dogs in their wedding plans, couples
may want to consider a few factors to ensure asking Fido to be
there come the big day is what’s best for couples, their guests

No two dogs are the same. Some dogs might love people
and attention, while others might prefer one-on-one time
with their owners. Dogs that are sociable and unaggressive
may make perfect additions to wedding ceremonies, while
animals that exhibit anxiety around strangers or seem uncomfortable
in noisy settings should be kept out of the ceremony.
Health
Dog owners also must consider their pets’ health when
deciding whether or not to include them in the wedding ceremony.
Couples who bonded over a love of their dog may
really hope to include their furry friend in the festivities, but
should not do so at the expense of the animal’s health.
Assistance
Couples will be busy on their wedding days, so they may
need to arrange for a caretaker to look after their dog during
and after the ceremony. Dogs can make great additions to
weddings, but couples must consider a host of factors before
deciding to have Fido join them as they tie the knot. SB187130
