When taking on the responsibility of a pet, you and each member of the family must be willing to commit to providing a good home for it. Consider the following before committing to a pet.
1. Do you live in the city, suburbs or out in the country? How much space do you have indoors and out?
2. Are you the active type, or is your time spent at home of a sedentary nature? Are you looking for an exercise companion or a pet to keep you company while you do things around the house?
3. Are you physically capable of taking care of the type of pet you're considering? Caring for a large animal or one with extensive habitat needs can be physically demanding.
4. Do you spend much time at home? Some pets need someone with them most of the time, especially when they are young. Others can be left alone for long periods of time.
5. What is your budget? This is a very important consideration, because all pets require some degree of financial commitment. You'll have to pay for food, housing and other daily needs, as well as veterinary care and any special needs your pet may have. These costs vary considerably from animal to animal.
Find out how much time each family member can devote to the pet. Discuss each person's responsibilities for the animal's care, feeding, grooming, exercise, socialization and training. Determine who will be responsible for the expenses involved, and make certain that every need for the pet you're considering will be met.
