Start the Dog Owner Licence

2. Choose a Breed

Common Questions About Getting a Dog

What happened to Skaffa Hund?

Skaffa Hund is now called Get a Pet. It is the same marketplace with the same founders. Today there are both dogs and cats, in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland.

Does skaffahund.se still work?

Yes. The address sends you on to Get a Pet, so old links and bookmarks still work.

How do I know if I am ready to get a dog?

You are ready when you have time for the dog every day, can afford it every month and have a home where it fits. Also think about who looks after it when you travel. If you are unsure, look after a friend's dog for a weekend or take the Dog Owner Licence first.

Which dog suits a first-time owner?

Choose a breed that is easy to train and has moderate energy, such as the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Bichon Frisé or Labrador Retriever. The breed quiz suggests more based on your everyday life.

Can I get a dog if I work full time?

Yes, if someone can take the dog out during the day. Under Swedish rules, an adult dog must be let out at least every six hours during the day. Dog daycare, a dog walker or lunchtime walks solve this for many people.

How much does it cost to get a dog?

A medium-sized dog costs around 44 700 SEK in the first year, including 25 000 SEK for the dog. After that, food, insurance and vet visits cost around 17 300 SEK a year. Calculate the cost of your dog in the cost calculator.

How old should the puppy be when I pick it up?

At least 8 weeks. Many breeders let their puppies move when they are 8 to 10 weeks old.

Where do I find a reliable breeder?

On Get a Pet, sellers are verified and you can see the breeder's animals, litters and reviews. Always ask about health tests and meet the parents before you buy.
