Pre-Pet Thoughts

Pets are a large part of many people's lives.  They show unconditional love and loyalty, even when we don't deserve it.  There is so much they do for us, and not just dogs and cats either.  Horses, cows, goats, even some exotic animals can make good pets.

Before getting any kind of pet, keep in mind that it does take money to care for them.  You have to buy food, equipment (feeders, waterers, collars, leashes, etc.), then you also have to have regular vet care if you want to keep a healthy, happy pet.  So make sure your financial resources can handle the expenses that go along with a pet.  Larger pets, like a horse or cow, will (in most cases) have larger expenses and different needs than say, a kitten.

Time is another requirement for pets of all sizes.  You don't want to get a pet if you never have time to spend and play with them.  Some pets require more time than others, so when you do get a pet, make sure it fits in your schedule.   If you have the time and the resources, a pet can be a great addition to the family.
