Choose your pet and breed - Animal hospital Miami

by TM Maria Be a king in your own kingdom

Too often, people adopt an impulsive animal without considering the adult size and life expectancy of a breed, the costs to pay and the time to devote to it.

This article in three parts, I hope will help you to choose wisely your future companion (cat or dog) and thereby reduce abandonment and abusive euthanasia.

Let's start with the basic questions:

Is someone in your home suffering from allergies to hair or saliva?

If so, you should go to the so-called hypoallergenic animals such as Poodles, Rex, Sphinx or Siberian.

Do you already have other animals?

Remember that the more animals you have, the more time, maintenance and budget you have to spend on them. Also inquire about the regulations of your city because it can refuse certain race or you impose a maximum number of companions. It also has full power to force you to leave if these rules are not respected.

Not all individuals enjoy living in a group. Animals are often observed to develop illnesses, or stress-related behavioral problems of having a "friend/intruder" in the house.

· What exactly are you looking for?

· A presence that will give you affection from time to time? (Cat)

· A friend for your children? (Cat dog)

· A ball of love that follows you step by step? (Cat dog)

· A protector, an athlete or a hunter? (Dog)

Space

· Do you live in the heart of the city or in the middle of the countryside?

· Do you live in a small apartment where you have a medium size house?

· Do you have a fenced yard of a respectable size depending on the size of the desired dog?

It is important to think of the space provided to the animal as much for its physical as mental health. For example, a Dane or a St. Bernard will suffocate in a small apartment in downtown Montreal, not to mention that it could develop joint problems.

Neighbors must also be taken into account. They have the right to complain, for example, for excessive barking.

In conclusion

Research the personality of the breeds to choose animal hospital Miami.

These questions will already eliminate many races. Now let's focus on you, the owner. You are like a parent, that is, you are both the authority and friend of your hairball. And he is like your child, in the sense that he needs security, stability and a certain routine. He is dependent on you for his well-being and it is also up to you to show him patiently what he cannot do, what he should do and when. It will reflect your actions and your personality so find from the start a race that suits you.
