The correct phrase is: 'you should not have a dog if you are not prepared to look after it.' 'Prepared' is the correct term to use in this context, indicating readiness or willingness. 'Arranged' does not fit well in this sentence.

The correct phrase is 'you should not have a dog if you are not prepared to look after it.' 'Prepared' is used to indicate readiness or willingness to take care of the dog.

This phrase is incorrect. 'Arranged' does not fit well in this context. It does not convey the intended meaning of being ready or willing to care for the dog.
