Looking For a New Pet?
Are you looking for a new furry companion for your home? Creature Comforts of Charlotte Pet Sitting would like you to consider the following when choosing either a dog or a cat.
If you have decided to purchase a pet, you must be responsible and reasonable. This may seem very easy: it’s enough to visit a pet store or bird market and to buy what you like. However, in reality it is not so simple – in fact each animal requires a certain care and must be suitable to the owner`s temperament and lifestyle.
Dogs are one of the most popular pets. Faithful, loyal, affectionate, loving, ready to do anything for its owner. If you want to get a dog, be prepared to walk it several times a day, to do its training, to perceive this animal as a full and equal family member. Pay attention not only on the appearance of a dog of any breed, but also by other characteristics: features of care, living conditions, the nature, purpose (hunting, house, etc.). Evaluate your desires and possibilities, give yourself the answer to the question: Will the dog feel comfortable with you, and you comfortable with your dog?
Regardless of their breed dogs have one common point – they require greater attention, communication and love than cats. Dogs are like children: time-consuming and are offended if they are ignored. So the dog is well suited for people who prefer an active way of life, mostly young and active, single people who want to find a faithful friend, as well as those who own a sufficient amount of time to practice with the dog. If you have young children, please keep this in mind when choosing a breed of dog.
Independent, proud, proud, tied to the house more than to its owners, the cat is not any less of a popular pet than its eternal rival and antithesis – the dog. As is in the case with dogs, a lot depends on the choice of breed. Cats characters resemble to characters of the people – so it’s important to choose a cat breed that matches to your temperament and lifestyle.
Despite the fact that cats are not amenable to training, pay attention to their education. It is necessary to teach a cat to use the toilet at the appropriate place, to scratch its claws only in specifically designated rug and to make it clear where in the house has “forbidden” zones.
Cats are recommended for creative and independent people; however, they must be willing to tolerate cat’s willfulness. If you are one that is away from home often, a cat is much more preferable to a dog, as they are able to fend for themselves much easier.
If you are someone that is away from home often, and prefer dogs to cats, please keep in mind that you will have to find care for the dog while you are away. We recommended using pet sitting services: this keeps the dog in their natural environment, and eases stress/anxiety of their owners being away. Here at Creature Comforts of Charlotte Pet Sitting, we have heard numerous stories about dogs coming back from kennels and are “not themselves” or have developed an illness.
Whatever pet you choose, it is a huge responsibility and not to be taken lightly. This is an animal that will likely be with you for many years to come, and will provide a lot of joy and great times!
