Whats The Best Time To Get A Pet For Your Child?

Well for me I don't think I would get Keona a pet, one thing is that it would be an added expense. Although having a pet for your child is one of the best ways to teach your child to be responsible, but I would rather let her learn other ways to be responsible, minus a pet hehehehe.

But if you want your child to have a pet, I think the best time to get your child a pet is when your child starts showing interest in animals and expresses the desire to have a pet. It is important that he is already able to follow instructions and is ready to be taught how to properly take good care of animals.

It is also recommended to get a pet that is of small size or breed, easy to handle or manage, is of good temperament, and matches the child's personality and interest. Young or newly weaned animals are preferable so it would be easier for them to adapt to the child and vice versa. It is also best if parents can research on the animals they plan to get for their child to see if the pet would be appropriate for their kids, their lifestyle, and budget.
