I'm planning on going to Dental school in the Fall of 2009. I am thinking of adopting a puppy and was wondering if having a dog while in Dental School would be a bad idea. Are people able to manage taking care of a dog and doing well in classes?
I think a cat is a better pet for dental school. They require a lot less maintenance but in return they don't have the personalities dogs do. I have a cat and would really like to get a puppy but I think it would require too much attention. Anyone currently in d-school who has a puppy/dog and doesn't have a wife/husband/kid who stays at home more and takes care of it?

yeah....i think cats are better pets for dental students.

I was totally looking into adopting a puppy too, but everyone keeps telling me it wouldn't be fair for the dog to spend more than half the day by itself.
My friend is in law school and she's always reading and doing her school work at home so it works out for her b/c she has the company. DSchool is a little different though - we have to spend a lot of time in the pre-clinic/clinic.
What do do?
Kiwipie - let me know what you decide to do. I was thinking about waiting until I start school and see how my course-load is and then decide....

Also, remember to take COST into consideration...

The OP is interested in having an actual PET. A dog specifically. I encourage that endeavour.
