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.
