While pets can provide a vast range of learning experiences, make sure you are willing to make a lifetime commitment to your new pet. Finding a pet that fits into your lifestyle is essential.

While you can’t choose what traits your human children will have, you canhave a choice in choosing a pet for your family. It’s your choice. If you decide should be included in your family remember that it’s your choice what kind of dog that may be. Your next dog can be:

  • a champion digger or retriever
  • a champion in the field or in the conformation ring
  • or a champion couch potato.

There’s one key to finding the best dog breed for your family: Research, Research, Research!!!!

“Don’t Buy A Dog” is a good read for anyone considering adding a dog for the first time to their family.

Dogs aren’t the best pet for everyone. For busy families who spend little time at home, cats are a good choice as a family pet. They are independent enough to survive and thrive without human companionship. All a hamster needs is moderate temperatures and food/water. You might also want to consider an aquarium instead of a cat or hamster until your life settles down. (Yes, there are “seasons” to family life. While this year may not be good for adding a pet, next year may be.)

The last thing you want to teach your child is that an animal is expendable, so take a realistic look at your family life before adding any creature to the mix.

Pet ownership, especially dog ownership, is anything but inexpensive. Usually “free” pets can prove to be the most expensive. In addition to considering how much time you can devote to your family’s pet, also consider what the health and maintenance expenses will be.

Deciding not to get a dog as a pet at this time can also be a wonderful learning experience for your child. Share with your child the reasons that make adding a dog to your family at this time a bad idea. You’ll be teaching your child valuable life lessons such as

  • thinking of others (what’s best for the potential puppy)
  • the value of waiting for the right time
  • that some decisions are too important to be rushed.

The old adage that if it’s a good idea today, it will still be a good idea tomorrow is never more true than when adding a pet to your family. This is not a decision to be made in the middle of a mall, staring into a set of soulful puppy eyes. Take a deep breath and walk away!!! Go home and RESEARCH your decision. You’ll be glad you did.
