Have you ever met a child that did not want a pet of some kind? I don’t think I have, most children want some kind of a pet, a companion to hang with and play with. I know we’ve had dogs most of our lives, and in recent years we’ve lost our last dog and my wife is so heart broken from our dog Chrissy death that she does not want to get another one, at least not yet. But on the other hand our grown and married sons have dogs, My oldest son has three sons of his own and they have a dog Crosby…my grandson’s love him and have a great time with him all through the day.
My youngest son and his wife have no children but have two dogs Brady and Sydney and they are a blast to, lot’s of fun and always filled with excitement. So if you are looking to get your child a pet, there are many different pets you can choose from depending on their age and what you would like in your home. What I mean is I have a friend that has a pet boa snake in there home. Now that is a kind of pet that this ole boy does not want, I’m sure you won’t want one either. LOL!
Now maybe you want to get them a Hermit crab, they are easy to deal with, they are not to messy, they require little care and would give your child something to care for and learn to be responsible. You can let them crawl around on the floor after taking them out of the cage.
You could go with a Hamster or even a Guinea Pig but they would require a little more work. You would have to clean the cage every week. They would need to be fed everyday along with fresh water. Plus they are messy. Another thing about them is they are nocturnal, in which case while you are trying to get some sleep they are up and playing. Now if you have a hamster wheel in their cage, then guess what, they are going to be doing their exercise at night and making lot’s of noise.
That’s why as pets go, I would surely choose a dog. Dogs are less messy and easy to care for. Sure you will have to bath them every so often, and brush their hair. They also would need to be fed and watered. But all in all dog’s are loyal and friendly, plus they get attached to you and your children too and would provide protection for the whole family. The right dog will love your child and be a friend to them like you would not believe.
Sure there are other pets to choose from but none like a dog, it seems other pets are so cold to humans, even cats can be strange around kids. So give your child some responsibility, get them a pet (hopefully a dog) LOL! Once you get them a dog, give the dog some style with a
custom dog collar or dog pendant, along with a designer leash, keep your dog in style.
