The doghouse

Bigger dogs vs Smaller dogs

Looking for some advice really.

I am fostering a rottie x staff in March for a coupleof days whilst the rescue is doing some work refurbishing (completely outs myself)

I have a smaller dog here from the rescue so have been homechecked anyway and she will be suppling a crate and food.

The dog is very people friendly and good with other dogs but she does have food issues so will need crating at dinner time.

My partner will be doing the walking as she is strong on the lead.

My only issue is I have only had small dogs and was wondering if there is anything else I need to take into consideration that I may not have thought about having smaller dogs?

Said dog will only be staying a couple of days honest...

I can only think of obvious things like they can reach higher up, they take up more space and eat more, lol.

It depends on what breed the small dog is.
More hair loss=more cleaning
More food needed and water and longer walks needed. To burn off the energy. Am guessing everything else is provided by the kennels etc wormers and stuff.
