Owning a pet is an experience everyone should have. It provides you the opportunity to become responsible and know that another life depends on you. Your pet relationships on you for food, shelter, toys and comfort and you must be available and able to provide products and services to your pet.

Whether it's a goldfish in a bowl, a dog, a cat, hamster or rabbit. Owning a pet is a full time job and requires a great level of commitment from you the owner. However, not everyone has that patience or sense of responsibility to provide for a pet, so before you run out to the neighborhood Shelter to adopt a pet or to the pet shop to buy one, there are a few questions you should ask yourself, a kind of reality check to make sure you understand what you are getting into. Some of the questions include: –

Do You Have Time For The Pet?
Can You Afford One?
Do You Have Space?
Are There Little Kids In The Home?

Do You Have Time For The Pet?
Time is very important. You need to set some time during the day to care for your pet. The amount of time they need depends on the type of pet. Cats obviously do not need too much playtime, but pets like dogs and hamsters need major interaction with you to develop into healthy home pets. Make sure that you will have the time to feed them, play with them, take them to the vet and train them.

Can You Afford One?
Some people do not realize how much financial commitment it takes to raise a pet until they are neck-deep involved with the pet. Taking care of a pet could cause a financial hit on your wallet. So before you get one think of the financial implications. There will be pet food involved, veterinary fees, licenses depending on the pet, cage, training etc. Weigh the pros and cons before deciding whether it is something you can afford.

Do You Have Space?
Pets come in different shapes and sizes. There are small pets like birds, fish that do not needarily require too much space and then there are bigger pets like dogs, cats and hamsters. Hamsters, even though they are small do well in large cages. So the size of your abode should be carefully put into consideration when deciding whether to get a pet.

Are There Little Kids In The Home?
Pets especially the baby pets would require as much attention as a human baby. They can not fend for themselves but unlike a baby they can move about. Puppies and kittens start walking early and that could create a lot of problems for the uninitiated pet owner. They do not have any sense of danger and need full monitoring. If you have small kids at home and can add a pet to that, this will be like having 2 babies competitive for your attention. you should postpon getting a pet such as a dog or puppy until the kids have grown a little or you get a bigger dog.
