No dog is totally low-maintenance as they all rely on their owner for food, activities, and healthcare. But some dogs are undoubtedly easier to care for than others. Opting for a manageable pup isn't just about minimising your responsibilities as a groomer and exercise provider. It's also about finding a companion who fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. Here's the breeds that are ideal for those seeking low(er)-maintenance pups. Basset Hound 6 The experts at Many Pets describe the Basset Hound as the "laid-back lounger". As a breed, they are calm and easygoing, which makes them excellent companions for the listless and lackadaiscal. Their short coat requires minimal grooming, and they're generally content with short walks. And while their droopy ears and soulful eyes don't have much bearing on their low-maintenance status, they certainly add to their charm. Basset hounds are perfect for individuals and families who want a laid-back pet that enjoys affection without demanding too much activity. They're great with young children and fit well in homes without large gardens. I'm a vet & wouldn't own 5 dogs – watch out for a breed prone to pricy back problems & secretly-high-maintenance pooches French Bulldog 6 Known by Many Pets as the "sturdy sweetheart", French Bulldogs are compact, affectionate, and require minimal grooming. They enjoy short play sessions and are generally low-energy, making them perfect for busy families. This adorable breed is best for owners looking for a companion that doesn't need extensive exercise but is still playful and loving. They adapt well to apartment living and are good with children. Italian Greyhound 6 Italian Greyhounds are elegant and low-maintenance dogs who enjoy short bursts of play but are mostly content to relax indoors. Their short coat requires minimal grooming, but also means they may need a cute jumper or coat to stay warm in the winter. They're perfect for anybody who wants a small, gentle dog that doesn't need much grooming or exercise. They fit well in quieter homes and are great for individuals or families who enjoy a calm environment. Pug 6 This small breed is very sociable and loves to be the centre of attention. Their short coat is easy to care for, and they don't require a lot of exercise. Known for their playful and affectionate nature, pugs make great companions. Pugs are ideal for families who want a loving and interactive pet that doesn't require extensive physical activity. Boston Terrier 6 This breed, nicknamed the tuxedo doggo due to its colouring, is known for its friendly demeanour. They're low-maintenance with short coats that require little grooming and only have moderate exercise needs. But it's their playful and affectionate nature that makes them great companions. They're also adaptable and easy-going, which makes them great if you're raising kids.

Mum's face left ‘pouring with blood' after being attacked by ‘pitbull-type dog' she went to stroke on night out
A MUM has told how her face was left "pouring with blood" after experiencing a shocking dog attack on a night out. Cody Davies, 31, went to stroke what she described as a pit-bull like dog, as it played with its owner on Matthew Street, Liverpool, on June 29. 6 6 6 The horrifying incident, which occurred at 1am, saw the dog jump up at Cody leaving her face bloodied and in need of 20 stitches. She was rushed to Aintree Hospital from the city centre, where she was quickly treated. The mum-of-two from Port Sunlight has now urged other to be careful when approaching unknown dogs. She told The Liverpool Echo: "I feel terrible and I feel so sad." Cody explained that when she went over, the owner didn't say anything about not approaching. However, moments later the attack Cody's face was left covered in blood. She said: "I was running around with my hands covering my face and blood pouring from my face. "No taxis would take me because I was covered in blood and thankfully someone rang an ambulance for me." Cody, who owns two French bulldogs, said the incident has sadly made her wary around dogs, and added that she has struggled to explain what happened to her daughter. She is now urging people not to approach dogs unless they are certain they are safe. She also shared her fears that the injuries will affect her job as a brand ambassador on social media. The mum has now filed a police report in the hopes that no one else will be attacked by the dog. Merseyside Police confirmed the force is investigating the incident, with an appeal for information now being published. Officers are continuing to conduct enquiries including speaking to potential witnesses and exploring possible CCTV footage. Chief Inspector Nathaniel Stockley said: "This attack left a woman requiring hospital treatment for injuries to her face. "We have identified the dog and its owner and our enquiries into the incident are ongoing. "We are appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident who may have information to come forward as soon as possible. "This case highlights in stark terms the potential dangers of dogs, and I would appeal to anyone with information about dangerous dogs in their area to contact us so that we can take proactive action." Anyone with information should contact Merseyside Police via the force's website or by calling 101 and quoting incident reference 125 or 29 June. Dog attacks in the UK Police forces recorded 30,539 offences of a dog injuring a person or guide dog in 2023 a 21 per cent rise on the previous year, when 25,291 were logged. In 2024, the figure rose again to 32,568 - a 4 per cent increase. According to latest figures from the Office for National Statistics, there were 16 deaths due to dog attacks in 2023, a sharp rise from preceding years where the number had been in single figures.

Major hot car warning issued as dog dies trapped in traffic during heatwave
As tempeartures soar outside in the UK this week, the mercury inside a vehicle can rocket up quickly, putting dogs at heightened risk of heatstroke - especially flat-faced breeds like French bulldogs and pugs Pet owners are being urged to remain vigilant during the heatwave after a French Bulldog died while trapped in traffic in a hot car. The Frenchie - a breed which is at particular risk in hot temperatures - had to be rushed to Blue Cross animal hospital in Victoria, London after the owner got stuck in traffic and the poor pooch collapsed in the car as temperatures roared over 30C last weekend. Despite the best efforts of the vets, the beloved pet couldn't be saved. Vets at Blue Cross are now warning pet owners of the dangers of travelling with their pet in the car during extremely hot weather. Temperatures are expected to surpass 30 degrees several days this week and as the mercury rises outside, inside car temperatures can rocket up in a matter of minutes - meaning pets can succumb quickly to heatstroke. Aysha Kent, vet at Blue Cross, said: 'With temperatures set to soar in the coming days we'd really urge anyone to reconsider travelling with their pets during the hot weather – especially long distances. 'This is such a terribly distressing and sad case, and our thoughts are with the owner who did what they could to save the pet by rushing them into our care but sadly it was too late. 'While we often think our cars are cool when we're driving, this is often due to the active cooling of fans, and the actual vehicle temperature is much higher than we know. Putting the windows down isn't enough to stop the heat rising. 'Many pet owners will be aware of the risk of leaving dogs in parked cars but we're sharing this incredibly sad story to make people aware of the dangers of travelling with your pet during the hot weather.' Flat-faced breeds such as French Bulldogs and pugs are at higher risk in hot temperatures, along with overweight pets, very young or elderly pets, and pets with thick coats. The charity - which has been helping sick, injured and homeless pets for more than 100 years - is also urging owners to consider keeping their pets inside, rather than walking them outside if the temperatures remain too high. Aysha added: 'Avoid the usual walks and just take dogs for brief toilet breaks in the garden or outside nearby. Give pets frozen or cooled treats to stay cool and, if possible, provide dogs with a paddling pool to cool them down. 'We'd recommend trying to leave your pet in a room with shade (for example with the curtains closed) and opening windows (where this is safe) if the air is cooler outside or there is a breeze." Early signs that your dog might be struggling with the heat include panting (especially if they have a curled tongue), slowing down or stopping on walks, and fast or heavy breathing. After this, you might see them drooling or lying down, followed by more serious symptoms such as vomiting, collapse or fits. Aysha added: 'If your dog shows any signs of heatstroke, start cooling them by moving them out of the heat and pouring cold water over them (not using wet towels as these warm up the skin too quickly) and take them to the nearest vet. This may not be your usual vet but will be quicker in getting your pet treated.'
