Dogs require significantly more time and space than cats. Before buying a dog, consider exercise needs, living space, and whether the breed suits Sri Lanka's climate. Large active breeds (German Shepherd, Labrador) need daily outdoor exercise; smaller breeds adapt better to apartment living. Puppies need vaccinations, deworming, and vet registration within the first weeks. Key supplies include a crate or bed, food and water bowls, a collar and lead, and grooming tools. Dogs are social animals and should not be left alone for long periods. The long-term costs of feeding, grooming, veterinary care, and boarding should be factored in before purchase. Dog accessories and leads are at dog accessories. Cat accessories for other household pets are at cat accessories.

Live dogs are bought as family pets, guard animals, and companion animals. Kapruka delivers island-wide. Those wanting all live pets in one place can also browse live pets.
