What is a Dog Breed Selector?

A Dog Breed Selector is a tool that helps you choose the best dog breed for your lifestyle, preferences, and living situation. It asks a series of questions about your lifestyle, such as activity level, living environment, time spent outside of home, etc. to help you find a breed that is ideal for you. Based on your answers, the breed selector will suggest dog breeds that may be a great fit. Make an informed decision when choosing a breed with IAMS™ Dog Breed Selector.

 

How to use the IAMS™ Dog Breed Selector?

At IAMS™, we believe that there is a dog breed for everyone. To find a breed which ticks all the boxes, you must turn towards our Dog Breed Selector. It provides you with a list of breeds that not only best suit your lifestyle, but also have your preferred qualities. All you need to do is answer each question with complete honesty. Also, towards the end of the questionnaire, choose the qualities of your ideal dog in order of importance, so we can find the best dog breed for you. Answer the questionnaire and uncover fur-tastic possibilities.

 

Find the right dog breed for yourself

Choosing a dog breed for yourself is a significant decision that requires a lot of research and thought. You want a dog breed that adapts to your lifestyle and personality. Hence, consider factors like whether you live in an apartment, have kids at home, etc. While dogs are trainable, you cannot make them do certain things. For example, if your fur baby has to stay alone for long hours, you need an independent dog, whereas, if you live in an apartment, a small dog breed might be ideal for you.
