My Pet and My Daughter is best friends
Pets can be a lot of fun if your family is ready for the responsibilities that come with them. They can help teach children values and social skills. Most relationships between people and pets are positive.
There are some important health and safety considerations to remember when bringing a pet into your home. Both your children and pet will be happier and healthier if they know and understand the rules. It’s important to take the time to prepare and understand the realities of having a pet.
If you have a child with allergies, think carefully about whether a pet is a good idea. If his allergies get worse, it can be hard to find a new home for your pet. If you get a new pet and your child starts to show signs of allergies, consult your doctor for advice.
Pets do not make good gifts, especially around holidays. Families can be too busy at these times to give a new pet the care and attention it needs.
You have to skip many travels if you have pet at home, Pet hostiles are there, but we should be making habit to your pet to stay alone without you.
Most of the pets won’t stay alone without owners and they won’t have food.
I am writing all with my personal experiences we skipped many functions due to our pet. My pet name is “HAPPY”
I suggest small bread are good for apartment living.
I have kept some pics here
If you decide to adopt a pet, make sure your pet is healthy:
- Adopt your pet from someone you trust. Your veterinarian (vet) will be able to offer suggestions.
- Consider the final adult size of your pet when deciding which kind to adopt. Don’t forget that they grow and might get bigger than you are prepared to handle.
- Make sure your pet sees the vet every year and has all vaccinations.
- Get veterinary care when your pet is sick.
- Watch for any contact your pet has with other animals that might carry disease.
When you have a pet in your home:
- Teach your children to treat animals gently and with respect.
- Never leave a young child alone with an animal. Accidents can happen when children tease pets or touch them in a way that makes them uncomfortable.
- Involve your child in the care of your pet. This helps children learn a sense of responsibility.
- Make sure your pet has quiet and comfortable place to go. Don’t allow your pets to sleep with children.
- Do not allow your pet to roam alone in a baby’s room.
- Don’t allow your pet to lick your child’s face or any cuts or scratches.
Dogs
- Look for a dog with a gentle nature.
- Older dogs are a good idea only if they have been around children. Puppies can be a lot fun but tend to have lots of energy. Puppies need a lot of time and patience for proper training. Involve all family members in the training so that the commands used are easy for both your children and the dog to remember.
- Don’t leave your dog alone in the house for long periods of time. If you have to be away for long periods, a dog might not be the right pet for your family.
- Keep your dog secure in a space that she can be comfortable in.
- Expose your dog to different types of people and situations.
- Dogs need lots of exercise. Encourage your children to join you on walks with the dog. Remember to use a leash when walking your dog.
