How to Choose a Pet for Your Family
Part 1
When buying a pet for your family, take the time to learn which pet is right. It is a subjective (субъективный) decision that should take a lot of thought and consideration. There are many factors to consider when buying a pet. Review the following list for steps to take if you want to choose the right pet for the family.
Steps
1. Consider your finances before choosing a family pet. Some pets are more expensive to take care of than others. With a goldfish, you just need to feed it and maintain its tank, after the initial expense of purchasing a tank, rocks and decorations. Tropical fish, whether they are fresh water or salt, are more expensive and require more equipment, such as a filter and heater. Larger pets, such as dogs and cats need more food, beds and toys. They also need regular checkups and seasonal medications. Consider the expenses incurred on a regular basis when selecting a pet. Remember also, that when a pet gets older or sick, the vet bills are larger.
