Thinking of having a pet in your house? That's what your new friend needs. |
Having a pet is not just a hobby, some open the doors of their home for animals either to teach children compassion for animals or to be anesthetist at home. But do you know what it really means to take a pet at home and the real value of it, and how to choose the right pet type for the nature of your working and family life? Your personality and lifestyle determine which pets are right for you.
- Commitment to your new friend.
The first condition for raising a pet is the confidence that you can abide by your duties towards this animal, you may find it a hobby but find in you all his world, so make sure there is someone else who can count on to perform your duties towards the new guest, and also make sure that you are able to commit to the material commitment necessary to spend on his needs of food, treatment, and entertainment, which is important to him, as well as must match your lifestyle with the breeding of this particular type of animal. Raising a pet at home is like having a child who is not old, who needs care, and cannot express his needs.
- Don't make him a heavy guest on your family.
The second condition that must be met is the approval of the people of the house for the presence of this animal, and to make sure that none of the members of the house suffer from allergies to the animal, and this is because you will not lock the animal in a separate room, but it will deal with all the members of the house, so everyone must be compatible with the new visitor. Also try not to buy it from merchants because they often expose animals to harsh living conditions, and first search the animal shelters in your country.
Pet lovers usually tend to particular animals such as dogs, cats, fish, turtles and birds, and here we'll list some of the most important facts and information that their owners should know.
- Having a cat is perfect for everyone.
Cats are ideal animals for different lifestyles, especially for those who work long hours by day, cats are independent beings, and sleep approximately 16 hours a day, but this does not deny that they also need attention and care, such as putting food and cleaning their own sandbox, making sure to periodically follow their vaccinations.
It is widely believed that cats pose a danger to pregnant women and embryos in their wombs, causing toxoplasma disease, but in fact, just raising cats does not infect their companion with this disease, in order for the cat to transmit the disease to the human, it must first be infected, and it is transmitted to humans when contact with cat droppings only directly, and this disease can be infected by non-cat breeders, the disease is basically transmitted to the animal or human by eating unclean food.
- Dog breeding is suitable for families.
Dogs are creatures full of vitality, energy, and love towards their owners, and they must train daily and get out of the house at least three times a week, and if raising an animal is like having a child at home, dogs are particularly depressed if they are left behind by their owners or their own, so they are ideal for families especially those with children, and for people who work from home.
It should be noted that dogs must be trained to urinate in specific places and follow periodic vaccinations, they must be protected as they do not clean themselves unlike cats, and most importantly they must live inside the house with their owners, and not to be left to the air fluctuations in balconies and on the roofs of buildings as many do.

- Fish are suitable for small houses.
The advantage of fish is that they can be reared in different household spaces, especially if the members of the house do not have enough time to spend with a pet, or are sensitive to other types of pets.
Although fish farming doesn't require much effort to take care of on a daily basis, it certainly needs some care, such as providing food permanently, and making sure that the water is suitable for fish while constantly cleaned.
Modern appliances for food and water cleaning are now available in pet stores, and if they are available at home, fish may be absent for some time.
Pay attention should also be taken into account when collecting fish in the same basin, because there are species that cannot be found in one place.
- Special specifications for bird cage.
Like fish, resorts to raising birds who do not have enough space in the house, but when settling on the decision to have a bird as a pet in the house, you must choose the bird's type according to its size and personality that suits the members of the house.
Some misjudge the abilities of birds, as they have amazing colors that please the eyes, the birds are intelligent creatures that can be played with them, and sometimes they like to dance to the sounds of their favorite music.
Bird breeding requires special care and different from other creatures, besides maintaining a balanced diet, always providing clean water, with periodic cleaning of the cage;
