What small dog breeds are there?
There are many small breeds, such as Schnauzer, Pug, Chihuahua, Poodle, Pomeranian, Corgi, French Bulldog, Bichon, Yorkshire Terrier, and Dachshund. Adults usually weigh under 10 kg and stand under 40 cm. Small size means lower food, cost, and care difficulty, and a longer lifespan than large dogs, great for homes. But small dogs have weaker resistance, so keep up vaccinations and deworming.

This is likely a fungal or mange (mite) skin infection, often from a damp unclean home, vitamin deficiency, or missed flea/tick prevention. If you can't see a vet, try veterinary B-complex orally plus a skin spray; bathe with a medicated wash and do external deworming after 3 days. Use an Elizabethan collar.

A 4-year-old dog is like a 34-38-year-old human. Small breeds outlive large ones, so a Corgi, Teddy or Bichon at 4 is about 34 in human terms, while a large breed at 4 is around 38. A 4-year-old dog is in its prime — fittest and most energetic. Feed on a schedule, brush teeth 3-4 times a week, and keep up vaccines and deworming to extend its life.
Is it expensive to keep a cat?
It depends on your style. Meeting basic food, litter and prevention needs keeps monthly costs under a few hundred yuan — mainly dewormer, litter and food; toys and gear are one-time buys. But premium food, lots of toys, or a sickly cat can make it quite costly.
How Old in Human Years Is a Two-Month-Old Dog?

Is Free-Roaming the Right Choice for Your Cat?
Letting a cat roam freely satisfies its natural instincts and supports social and physical development, but it also exposes the cat to traffic, predators, toxins, and infectious diseases. Responsible owners should weigh these risks against the benefits and use safeguards such as safe collars, parasite prevention, and contained outdoor spaces.
