Inc. All Rights Reserved Photos by PhotoDisc Picking a Pet A pet is a true member of the American family. Pets provide companionship, joy, unconditional love, a sense of safety, and often a service. These are probably some of the reasons why you're thinking about getting a pet. Animals are fun to be with every day.
Pets make people feel good.
But the pet-owning experience will be most enjoyable if you take the time to consider which animal best suits your wants and needs. Start by answering some easy questions and gathering sound information and advice. This process won't take long and it will be educational and fun, particularly for children. Active dogs need more space and more daily exercise than older or more sedentary dogs. Some pets may get enough exercise within the confines of a house or apartment.
