Happy 7th Birthday to the best dog and cat mother Happy 7th Birthday to the best dog and cat mother in the world. I know people always think they have the best dog but seriously Penny is in the top ten. Loyal and loving and just the easiest dog ever to look after and have around. 

We all want another but she has been so good from day one that I’m terrified of what sort of luck we would get with another one 🤦‍♀️ if only humans could be a bit more like Penny (without the sniffing bums part) 🥰
Manchester has changed SO much. It has been years Manchester has changed SO much. It has been years since we went into the centre itself. What hasn’t changed is the people, atmosphere and my love for the city that will always be home.

What Type of Pet Is Right for Your Family?

For many families, getting a pet is a great bonding experience. It’s a way to add to your family, and it can be a good method of teaching kids responsibility. However, looking after a pet takes time and effort, especially if you’re planning on getting a young animal that might require extra attention. Your immediate thought might be a cat or dog, but there are various other options that could be more suitable for your family. There are certain questions you should ask yourself before getting a pet to make sure you’re making the right choice for both your family and the pet.

What’s Your Budget?

Money is an important thing to consider when getting a pet. There are expenses such as food, bedding, pet insurance and vet bills, pet sitters, and more. And the cost of the animal isn’t based on its size, either. If you’re considering a reptile, you could invest a lot into everything you need to set up an Exo Terra vivarium with all the accessories. Even a hamster can be costly if you care for it properly. It’s a good idea to research just how much a pet will cost you to make sure it’s affordable.

How Much Time Do You Have?

Another important factor to consider is your lifestyle and how much time you have to dedicate to a pet. All pets need a certain amount of attention, but some may need more than others. Are you already a busy family, or do you have plenty of time to give to a pet? A dog, cat, or some small mammals may need a lot more care and attention compared to some reptiles or fish. But don’t assume you know how much attention a pet requires without researching it. Some will need more of your time than you might realise.

What Do You Want to Do with Your Pet?

You should also think about your reasons for wanting a pet and what you want to do with them. Are you looking for a cuddly pet you can curl up with at the end of the day, or perhaps a pet to be active with? Maybe you want a pet that can do tricks or even just one that’s mostly fun to look at. Different people have different ideas about what makes the ideal pet and what type of joy they want a pet to bring into their lives.

Can You Do a Trial Run?

Before getting a pet, it can be really helpful if you’re able to do a trial run. Being able to borrow a pet isn’t always possible, but it can give you an idea of what it takes to look after them. Maybe you have a friend whose dog, cat, rabbit, or other pet you can look after for a few days. Some pet rescues may give you a few days to try out having a pet so you can decide if they are a good fit for you.
