The best pet. What animal to choose? Pet selection

Not so long ago, we discussed an important topic - where is the day of the pet, leaving on vacation. Do you know what was found? People choose pets not out of love for a particular species or breed. Often the main factor is fashion, social status and the price of the animal. And abandoned dogs, cats and even reptiles appear on the streets and in nurseries. Before thinking about how to choose a pet, you need to understand whether you need an animal at all.

Often adults buy a puppy or kitten to please children. It’s just that adults who have forgotten about it have to follow the pet. Do not believe the promises of your child. Due to their age, children are not able to take care of a pet. You can meet childhood dreams if you teach your child how to care for a puppy. Joint care will instill love for animals and care for those who depend on us.

Choosing a pet

Are you going to the "bird market" or to the pet store? Take your time, think about the pros and cons of the appearance of a puppy, kitten or parrot in the apartment. Let's decide: do you or the children want to have a pet? The second point - what kind of pet do you need, and what kind of child? :) Fun only in words. In fact, you can't think of more serious questions. Someone likes dogs, give someone an Egyptian cat, others prefer an aquarium with catfish or a terrarium with turtles.

INTERESTING. When the first domesticated animal appeared, it is not known for certain how and to what species it belonged. Scientists suggest that man tamed the first animals in the Stone Age. One thing is clear - dogs were the first to share a home with people. The rest of the pets were domesticated later. For example, the Romans kept in their houses first weasels, then genets, who fought mice and rats.

Some sympathy will not be enough. Some animals need such care that there will be almost no free time left. Yes, and finances will seriously decrease. The animal must not be allowed to become a burden. Disappointed, people immediately get rid of a pet that is not to blame for anything. The animal experiences severe stress the consequences of which are almost impossible to predict.

What breed of dog to choose

We decided on a global choice - we need a dog. It won't be easier in the future, you can't hope :) There are so many breeds that you can't do without consulting a specialist. Not only that different dogs needed different conditions of residence, so also they lend themselves to training in different ways. Representatives of one breed are good-natured and accommodating, others are outright bastards. If you need protection, you will need your own approach.

Sheepdogs, Staffords, Alabai and lapdogs - each breed is good at certain conditions and has its fans. It cannot be argued that one of them is better. They are different, bred for different purposes and react differently to the world. We advise you to approach the choice critically. Think you can create normal conditions and give appropriate care? Be prepared for a serious investment... of time and money.

The choice will become easier if you remember a few nuances:

• Large dogs take up a lot of space ... sometimes a lot :) In a small apartment, this will become a serious problem. And the feeder? Can you imagine how much a big dog eats a day? More than you, and sometimes more than the whole family. Yes, and you will have to cook for such a pet separately. The rest of the table is definitely not enough. Think about whether you are ready for such difficulties?

• With a lap dog or a poodle, there are also enough problems. True, they eat much less. Yes, and the educational process is simpler. Unfortunately, more in terms of perception. Because the consequences of the antics of a chihuahua are less than those of revelry. caucasian shepherd dog. But the character of a small dog, as a rule, is bad. A trifle requires more attention, concessions and sweets. Plus, they're jealous like demons.

• Having got a dog, you will have to make changes to the usual routine. You may have to change habits or change some things in the apartment. Do not forget that the city is not a village, a dog cannot live on the street and go out for a walk on its own. Twice a day you "shine" a walk with your pet. Snow, rain or fog - in any weather you have to go outside.

DID YOU KNOW… that the age of the Pekingese is like domestic breed, dated by scientists to the 1st century BC? It's a little over two thousand years old. As well as japanese akita inu. And the image of some breeds of greyhounds was made even earlier - 3500 years ago. Later, all people domesticated cats. Most likely, this is due to the fact that cats do not create packs and lead a solitary lifestyle.

• We already wrote about the problems associated with. Only at first glance it is easy to find with whom to leave a dog or cat when leaving for a couple of weeks. Animals get used to the owner and hardly endure separation. By the way, the psychology of a prospective friend should be studied in advance. For example, cats are easier to tolerate the temporary absence of the owner, and dogs are harder.

What breed of cats to choose

By what kind of pet lives in an apartment, one can draw conclusions about the nature and lifestyle of the owner. Cats are often turned on by lonely people who need care and affection. On the other hand, a cat is an ideal option for a family with a small child. That's just not necessary to rush with the choice of breed. Genetics is serious stuff. modern cats not always distinguished by good nature and angelic patience :)

The breed guarantees an exterior and, as a result, admiring oohs, raising status, and so on. But appearance does not guarantee the desired character. We advise you to google for a description of specific breeds. Read the opinions of biologists, breeders and people who keep cats. Only then can conclusions be drawn. True, there is no one hundred percent guarantee :) But you should not expect patience from the Siamese when they squeeze him.

Cats as pets have a lot of advantages, but there are also disadvantages. Do not rush, it is better to learn more about different breeds.

• Perhaps the most important point when choosing a cat - the length of the coat. Even short-haired breeds shed a couple of times a year. Get ready for the fact that wool will be everywhere: on furniture, floors, rugs and other things. will have to do it more often. You can ignore it, but cat hair strong allergen. This should not be forgotten. We advise you to stock up on special combs and give your pet maximum attention.

• Cats can create another problem. The predator is used to marking territory, and this is not affected by centuries of living together with a person. If you give up on the situation, the problem will take on a global character. It is doubtful that guests and relatives will like it strong smell cat urine:) Much depends not on the breed, but on the nature of a particular cat. The desire to mark one's own appears at the age of about six months, when puberty begins. Help with pets. Yes, yes ... education and education again.

IMPORTANT! There is a whole group of so-called zoonotic diseases, which are carried by animals. It can be dogs, cats, rats and some types of birds. To avoid. Be sure to check your pets, get the required vaccinations and follow the rules for the treatment of animals.

• Do you think you need to walk and you can only with dogs. Wrong! A cat can be a wonderful companion for walks in the park or yard. Yes and Fresh air good for any animal. It is clear that it is convenient to turn a cat into a purely pet. Put the box with filler and no problems. But walking with a pet, at least occasionally, is still worth it.

• Another tricky part is food. Some breeds are very picky eaters. Some don't eat fish, others only eat dry food of a certain brand, others like vegetables :) In general, there are enough problems. So think about it, can you get an ordinary cat without any pedigrees?

Maybe get a bird?

Don't like cats? Are you afraid big dogs, and small cause laughter? Get a feathered pet. So what? :) The choice is huge - parrots, canaries, nightingales, crows. It's just pointless to continue. There are several types of canaries. The bird does not run around the apartment, does not leave hair everywhere and does not gnaw on table legs. Also, this pet does not need to be walked. In addition, do not forget about singing and the opportunity to teach the bird words.

It will not be superfluous to remember about inexpensive food. Although it depends on the specific species. Some birds may consume fruits in large quantities. If you're not going to keep a bird in a cage, get ready for feathers on the floor. Birds also molt. The living space depends on the size. The cage can be small or huge. But the pet will have to be allowed to fly. Otherwise, the muscles will atrophy.

And here there may be problems with furniture, curtains and carpets. Decide for yourself whether to let the bird fly or not. And here's another point ... do not aim at rare birds. It's not even about the price, it's sky-high, rare birds and animals are protected by law. For such a pet, it is realistic to get a suspended sentence. Take a closer look at common birds - there are dozens of species of parrots alone. It is quite possible to choose an unusual pet.

Animals for home keeping - rodents

How do you feel about little fluffy animals? :) Pet stores offer a huge selection of rodents. There are rabbits, and hamsters, and white rats, and chinchillas with guinea pigs. The beauty of such pets is their unpretentiousness - they eat almost everything, they don’t need large enclosures or a certain climate. By the way, kids love little fluffies. But you still have to take care of it. Otherwise, the apartment will smell of specific smells.

INTERESTING. Communication between cats and dogs has given rise to a well-known saying. But often we become witnesses of friendship between completely different animals. Not so long ago, the Internet and TV were full of videos of friendly relations between the Amur tiger and the goat. And there are a lot of such examples of atypical interspecies relations. Pigs are friends with cats, snakes with hamsters, turtles with dogs :)

The main problem of such a pet is a short age. A rare hamster lives longer than two years. A similar situation with rats, chinchillas and other rodents. Rabbits live a little longer, but less cats and dogs. The death of a pet hurts adults differently than a child. This should be taken into account when choosing a pet. Having got a rodent, it is worth remembering two points:

• Use special fillers in cages. This will prevent the spread of odor;
• Keep an eye on living creatures, try not to let them “free swim”, according to at least unattended. Gnawed furniture, ruined clothes and ... do you need it?

Rodents are often phenomena in our apartments :) We are talking about pets, don't think of anything else. Accordingly, the network has a lot of forums, sites and personal pages dedicated to the nutrition, maintenance and habits of these animals. Feel free to learn more about them.

• The norm for such animals is a nocturnal lifestyle. Think about it when installing running wheels in a cage. The chance that the hamster decides to have fun at night is almost 100%.
• Most species are calm and peaceful. Children can fearlessly play with pets, hold and squeeze. Naturally, within reason.
• Small size and living in a cage, allows you to take your pet with you, whether it's a business trip or vacation at sea.

What about exotics?

Everyone has acquaintances or acquaintances of acquaintances who keep at home not just an elite cat or dog. Businessmen, artists and politicians have crocodiles, leopards, spiders, reptiles and insects. Some of them are cute and harmless, others are true predators and inspire fear. Such a choice should not be based on fashion trends. You need to know the habits of such animals. Nutritional features are only a small part of the problems with exotics.

There are only two suggestions here. Find all the information you can about the animal you like. Evaluate your options in terms of nutrition and maintenance of the future pet. Think about your personal safety and the degree of risk to others. Do not start predators and poisonous creatures if there are children in the family. Kids cannot correctly assess the danger from such a "nyashka". By the way, exotics are often carriers of rare diseases in our country.

As a rule, small children adore animals, and they always stretch their hands to pet a walking kitten in the yard. And one day the parents decide to have a cute creature in their family to the delight of themselves and their children. Of course, the choice of a pet for a child falls on the shoulders of adults, because kids in everything see only bright sides, and before choosing it is worth paying attention to some important points.

Animals and children

Before choosing

The very first thing you need to take care of yourself close creation on the planet - own child. Be sure to visit an immunologist and take tests for allergens, perhaps the baby has animal intolerance. It can be both wool and saliva, or dry food - the future main diet of the animal.

Forget allergy pills like Claritin - they're quick help, not for regular use. There is only one way out - to purchase a hypoallergenic animal, more on this below.

Second, take a look at which animals your child is most attracted to.

cats

Perhaps the most allergenic of all pets, as they are most susceptible to seasonal molting. Their coat is somewhat softer than that of dogs, lighter, and therefore it is more in the air.

But at the same time, cats are so cute, affectionate and gentle that it is impossible to resist and not stroke, having heard a pleasant rumbling in response. For the most part, cats are very independent and stubborn, almost impossible to train, but in no case because of low level intelligence, but just such a feline strong-willed character. They understand without any problems where their toilet is, where the feeder is, but they choose a place to rest themselves, and basically this is the master's bed - it's warmer there.

If a child has an allergy to wool, then take a closer look at the hypoallergenic breeds:

If your choice falls on a cat, then be sure to buy a pair of scratching posts so that the animal does not accidentally scratch the child in the game.

Also in favor of a cat can be attributed to their supernatural abilities to protect a person from evil spirits and treat sore spots by simply curling up on it. Read beautiful legend Well, that's probably how it was.

Dogs

It can also be noted that dogs most openly show their emotions to a person, if she is angry or happy, this is immediately evident.

rodents

More suitable for calm children who love more eyes while watching the animals. Of course, they can also be picked up and stroked, but it will take a long time before the rodent becomes tame, otherwise you can get a bite.

Rodents, due to their less demanding care, are also less addictive. Of course, the loss of a beloved animal for a child will be a tragedy, but children say goodbye to cats and dogs much more difficult than to a simple mouse.

Also, rodents are much cheaper to keep. But keep in mind that they are mostly nocturnal animals, and be prepared to wake up in the middle of the night from a piercing squeak or endless rustling.

parrots

With birds, everything is much more complicated - parents buy for a child only formally, and everyone understands perfectly well that adults will have to clean the cage, and possibly the walls with curtains, it is useless to force children.

But in fact, the parrot compensates for any cleaning with its unique feature - the ability to talk. If some species of birds can learn only a few dozen words, and apply them randomly and out of place, then it simply amazes with its ability to maintain a conversation at the level of a 5-year-old child. To this should also be added their bright tropical appearance which kids just love.

Turtles

Perhaps the most unclaimed type of pet among children.

It is understandable - there is practically no play with them, no cuddle, no scratching behind the ear. A green circle crawls across the floor, and the only thing left is just to watch. But in turtles there is a feature that, at least a little, but attracts children - this is a similarity with the ancient world. Who doesn't dream of owning an animal that looks so much like a dinosaur?

Turtles are very easy to care for, undemanding in nutrition, and live a long time.

fish

But a great option for children who have this first experience of caring for living creatures.

The fish are just a huge variety both in color and in size. A beautiful large aquarium will be an excellent decoration of the room, while at the same time instilling in the child a sense of responsibility, because they must not be forgotten to feed, and periodically clean the aquarium.

Of course, if possible, choose for the child a breed or type of animal with the most calm and balanced character that does not require professional care. Fighting breeds, or expensive ones, are not right choice, better buy an inexpensive animal, but more "mundane" for a simple city family. Believe me - the price and pedigree do not play a role, and in a month or two the pet will become a full-fledged member of the family and will also be loved.

Try to make a purchase in a specialized institution:

• Cats, dogs or parrots only in a cattery or professional breeders;
• Rodents and fish - only in large pet stores.

Often, according to an ad or in a bird market, wild, infectious animals are sold, which should not even be allowed near a child. It doesn't matter if the animal was caught in wild nature and brought by smuggling, then it will never become homemade.

Keep track of your pet's vaccinations, feed only balanced food, calculated just for him, and no snacks from our table. Also purchase all the necessary accessories - slickers, scratching posts, bowls and seasonal clothes, this is very important for pets, they understand everything and also suffer from insufficient attention.

Also, be prepared that the bulk of the care will fall on your shoulders. Of course, make the child take care of the pet, but as practice shows, children are only enough for games, while the main concern becomes the responsibility of the parents.

And remember - we are responsible for those we have tamed!

Pets can become not only true friends for children, but great way teach them responsibility. However, before you bring home a hamster, puppy or kitten, think about whether your offspring is ready for such a gift and what kind of fluffy animal is best for the crumbs in terms of temperament. Use our tips to find the perfect pet for your family.

What should be considered when choosing?

Before accepting such important decision weigh the numerous pros and cons of the presence of an animal in your apartment, so that instead of positive moments, you don’t get headache. If your child does not have any contraindications in the form of an allergy to wool, pay attention to the following:

• Baby's age

You should not combine the birth of a baby with the appearance of a pet, otherwise you will have to take care of two at once. children(one of them is a dog or a cat). If you are confident in your abilities, then get a pet and raise both from the cradle.

Children under five years old are more suitable for small fluffy animals or birds, which you will follow. Older children will already be able to take better care of their four-legged friends: feed them, wash their cages, and even take them for a walk. Teenagers are ready to shoulder the care of almost any living being.

• Children's temperament

The dog will suit, perhaps, any toddler, regardless of the type of temperament. A friend of man will frolic along with energetic choleric and sanguine people, and will also be able to stir up slow phlegmatic and melancholic people. If your child is overly excitable (), install an aquarium with leisurely fish at home or get a cat. The tailed beauty will also help calm the capricious and hysterical kids, and the chatty parrot will talk the silent and uncommunicative preschooler.

• Pet age

Try to get a 3-4 month old dog or cat. Young owners lack coordination and control over emotions. In a fit of passion, a child can hug a tiny animal too tightly, which will lead to negative consequences. It is also impossible to predict how a wayward adult beast will react to not always pleasant manifestations of childish affection (pulling its ears or tail).

Important! It is necessary to find out in advance the preferences of the household and distribute the responsibilities for looking after the future pet among them. Be sure to read the special literature, consult an experienced veterinarian, contact a pet store for a purchase. Thus, you are protected from possible problems and establish a peaceful coexistence between your child and a new family member.

Choosing a pet

Scientists have proven that children who care for furry pets have reduced aggressiveness and increased self-control. That's why almost any pet will bring great benefit to improve behavior and stabilization nervous system at preschoolers.

• Dog

A lot has already been written about the advantages of a four-legged friend, so we will not list them. Let's talk about pitfalls and possible disadvantages. Firstly, the dog can seriously cripple the "young naturalist", so you need to take care of elementary training. Secondly, you have to spend enough large sums money for its maintenance: special food, vaccinations, preventive examinations. Thirdly, he demands constant attention: daily walks, games with people and communication with other dogs. It turns out that you are having not just a living being, but another child. If all this does not scare you, let's take a closer look at the breed. Collies, Labradors, Retrievers get along great with kids, german shepherds. Well, the most accommodating and grateful are, of course, ordinary mongrels.

• Cat

If you have a long working day, then you can stop at the cat. It takes up less space than, for example, a St. Bernard, it is not necessary to walk it. However, this independent creature will not tolerate attacks on its tail or whiskers and is capable of scratching. Therefore, experts do not recommend getting a cat if your baby is not yet three years old. And yet, with proper training and timely toilet training, kittens will become everyone's favorites and reliable comrades. Just beware of acquiring a wayward Siamese, but rather take a purebred cat / cat or a voluminous Persian.

• rodents

Guinea pigs and hamsters are obedient animals that enjoy playing with children, but they do not tolerate rudeness, so they can bite and scratch. Caring for them is quite simple: buy a cage or a house and constantly change the bedding to avoid an unpleasant smell.

Moms take note!

Hello girls) I didn’t think that the problem of stretch marks would affect me, but I’ll write about it))) But I have nowhere to go, so I’m writing here: How did I get rid of stretch marks after childbirth? I will be very glad if my method helps you too ...

Decorative rats - another convenient option unless you suffer from fears and prejudices. They are smart, easily come into contact with kids, and they are simply crazy about them. The only negative is that representatives of this order of mammals do not live long, so get ready to explain to the baby where her little friend disappeared.

• fish

Pretty controversial decision. The aquarium is not that difficult to keep track of, and the fish calm down hyperactive kids and decorate the room. On the other hand, the kids prefer to stroke, touch and feel, and not just admire, so the kids throw water animals and ask for another animal. If you still decide to stop at this option, then choose cheap copies. Guppies are easier to care for than goldfish and are much cheaper.

• Birds

Taking care of the birds is not very difficult: pour grains every day, change the water and wash the cage tray. For kids, canaries are suitable, which will delight them with beautiful songs. Small parrots are also very funny, but large parrots can bite painfully, so do not rush with such a purchase. Another disadvantage is that they get up early and loudly (sometimes disgustingly) scream. But, unlike other pets, they have a long life expectancy, so the child, having barely become attached to his pet, will not grieve over his loss.

• Rabbit

Funny and affectionate animals require special care. You will need to regularly monitor the freshness of the water, feed only fresh herbs, and in warm time take it outside for a year. Their coat needs to be brushed to avoid tangles. Perhaps too many worries for the young master. And the baby is also able to inadvertently injure the fluffy, hugging him too tightly.

• Other animals

Turtles are rarely kept as pets as they sleep a lot. Agree that such a home inhabitant is not suitable for children who are set up for the game. Now it is fashionable to keep huge snails - Achatina. They are unpretentious: you can wash the aquarium only twice a month. They feed on tender lettuce leaves and other vegetables.

AT recent times there has been a growing demand for ferrets that are fun and easy to train. But do not forget that they often smell unpleasant, and this problem is not always solved by castration.

Unsuitable companions for preschoolers are considered exotic creatures: a variety of lizards, snakes and spiders. Some species of arthropods are poisonous, therefore they are dangerous for all households.

If your offspring asks for four-legged friend, do not immediately refuse. Perhaps an affectionate dog or kitten will become favorites for all family members. Therefore, approach the choice of a pet responsibly, taking into account the age, temperament and desires of the child.

Moms take note!

Hello girls! Today I will tell you how I managed to get in shape, lose 20 kilograms, and finally get rid of terrible complexes. fat people. I hope the information is useful to you!

Pets are not only entertainment or a toy for the baby, but also important element education. A kitten, a puppy, a hamster instill in the child a sense of responsibility, care, love, affection and many others. positive traits. The only thing that parents need to consider when choosing a pet is the preferences and readiness of the child for a new “family member”. Our tips will help you make the right choice.

What should be considered when choosing a pet?

When choosing a pet, you should pay attention to three points: the age and temperament of the child, as well as the age of the animal.

Child's age

Adults should be able to calculate their strength and understand that caring for a newborn and at the same time for a puppy or kitten will require a lot of patience and time. Parents become almost immediately moms and dads for two "children". If there is such readiness and desire, then the age of the baby does not matter.

It is recommended to stop choosing a pet for small fluffy animals (for example, hamsters) and birds when the child is not yet five years old. At this age, children will not yet be able to fully care for them, and everything will fall on the shoulders of adults.

Children over five years old can already bathe and feed the animals, take them for a walk, clean the cages, etc.

Baby temperament

For a calm and uncommunicative child, it is recommended to have a parrot, preferably a speaker. A hyperactive baby is more suitable for a kitten or fish. These animals will have a calming effect on the baby. But a dog is a universal animal that will suit a toddler with any temperament and character.

Pet age

Children, in a fit of feelings and emotions, usually tightly grab a puppy or a kitten and press it to themselves, sometimes they kiss, pull its paws, ears or tail. How will he react to such caresses adult dog– unknown. Therefore, for safety reasons for the child, it is necessary to purchase an animal at the age of three to four months.

When choosing a pet, first of all you need to decide what you need it for.

Choosing a dog

A dog is an animal that will happily meet the inhabitants of the apartment returning from work or from school. You can play with it, run around, cuddle it and stroke it. A dog is not only a reliable guard, but also a true friend.

This living being is essentially the same child that requires a lot of attention. Among the numerous breeds, it is necessary to choose a non-aggressive and, in a sense, predictable dog. These include German Shepherds, Collies, Labradors and simple mutts. By the way, the latter are the most faithful, devoted and obedient.

Having opted for a dog, you need to know:

• It will take time or money to train her so that the child is safe.
• You expect considerable material costs to provide the pet with the necessary food, vaccinations and medical services.
• You will have to walk the dog several times a day.
• During walks, the dog will play with people and other animals.

Choosing a cat

This pet does not require as much attention as a dog. You don't need to walk it - you can teach it to home toilet. Special food is also not necessary - you can accustom it to ordinary food. But such animals cannot be 100% trained, they can scratch anyone, regardless of age and family ties. That is why you should not get a cat or a cat if the family has a child under three years old.

If we talk about the choice of breed, then it is best to choose a Persian cat or a completely outbred cat. But you should not start a Siamese cat, she is very wayward and vindictive, she will not tolerate insults even from a child.

All these rodents live in cages, they need to constantly change the litter and take care of the timely replenishment of food and water. They easily come into contact with people. Children can play with them, stroke them, hold them in their hands. True, with rough handling of them, the animals can release their claws and scratch painfully, and sometimes even bite.

One of the "disadvantages" of such animals is their short life. If the baby becomes attached to the animal, then one day he will have to endure the bitterness of loss.

aquarium fish

These pets have their pros and cons for keeping at home.

• Easy care.
• They are the decoration of the room.
• They have a calming and calming effect.

• The fish cannot be touched and played with, which is very important for kids.

Canaries or parrots

You need to choose a small bird (not large breed parrot) so that she could not peck the child painfully. Caring for a feathered tenant consists of daily feeding, replacing drinking water and cell cleaning. Such songbirds as canaries will delight with their songs, and parrots can become interesting "companions". The good thing is that the life expectancy of the birds is long and the baby will not have to suffer because of separation from his pet.

domestic rabbit

The rabbit is an affectionate and harmless animal. Children love to play with him, stroke him and take care of him. Rabbits require a lot of attention, and daily. The child will have to learn:

• Pour fresh and clean water several times a day.
• Make sure that the cage always has fresh greens.
• Take your rabbit for a walk during the warmer months.
• Brush your pet's coat regularly.
• Handle your pet with care so as not to accidentally injure.

Other pets

You can meet a turtle at home. But this animal is unlikely to keep the child's interest in his person for a long time, since most Turtles sleep for a while, and besides, they don’t talk. You can’t run with a turtle, it doesn’t have soft fur. For most children, such a pet seems boring and too calm.

Achatina are huge snails that are kept in aquariums. Such a pet is fashionable, that's all. They move almost imperceptibly, measuredly and reassuringly. Their care consists in washing the aquarium (once every two weeks) and feeding. Snails prefer to eat fresh vegetables and lettuce leaves.

The ferret is considered a very funny and trainable animal. How home pet he is restless and mischievous. The big disadvantage of this pet is unpleasant odor which is rarely dealt with.

Spiders, lizards and even snakes can be found as pets in some families. Such pets are not recommended to be kept in a home with children. The reaction of babies can be different and unpredictable. The child may be frightened and even nervous breakdown. In addition, poisonous specimens are also found among such representatives, and this is already a real danger.

your child for a long time asks to buy a cat or a dog - do not refuse him. Prepare the baby for such an acquisition, explain what will change in the baby’s usual daily routine with the arrival of a pet. Consider when buying not only the desire of the child, but also his character, age and temperament.

Choosing a pet should be based on the nature, lifestyle of the family and habits. Therefore, at the family council it is necessary to discuss possible options, all the pros and cons, as well as the personal preferences of all family members.
