Most individuals have an idea just what type of pet they want;
however, the maintenance of a pet can cause some concern.
Knowing how to choose the correct pet for you may be easy. You may have
had several pets as a child and know you need a companion for your own
home or you may have always wanted a pet but been told you could not
have one. Whatever the case you may need to take into consideration some
key points to pet care when deciding what pet is right for you.
First some pets take more care than others. Dogs are very needy animals.
They are very sensitive towards their owners. I am sure most of you have
heard of dogs tearing up a house when left along all day. Dogs can get
bored even when they have other dog companions and toys. They need the
human interaction. Most dog owners take their dogs out for a walk before
work and after work for the exercise and play time.
Other owners who work outside will often let their dogs come to work with
them to keep them out of trouble. Cats on the other hand can amuse
themselves and as long as you put your valuables on a shelf, they cannot
reach and keep a clean house they will sleep, look out windows, and play
with toys while you are away. Fish are another type of pet that is typically
low maintenance except for cleaning the fish tank.
Pet care is very important when you own a pet. They need attention from
their owners, positive reinforcement, training, and love. Fish are usually
excluded from this statement, as they just need food, proper tank
maintenance, and a few plants to sustain life, however the point is proper
pet care is required when you own any pet. The decision will be yours to
make in choosing what the right pet is for you. Above I mentioned three
types of pets and little about their care, now I am going to look at it a little
more.
While dogs are high maintenance and require the most training they are also
one of the best pets to own. They can alert you to danger, alert you to
someone at the door, and give unconditional love back. A dog only asks in
return for proper care and a great deal of attention. If you cannot be home
all the time, you will want to make sure the dog has a roof over their heads
