All that you wanted to know about pets

Pets are a great source of joy, for people of all ages. From the 6 year old to the 60 year old, everyone loves to have a pet around them. Children love pets because of the instant friendship and bonding between the two, while elderly people love it because of the ‘feeling of being useful’. Pets are great stress busters and a great way to teach your children about real life situations like illness and even death. Cats and Dogs are undoubtedly some of the most common pets. Hamsters, tropical fish, reptiles and rodents are some of the other popular pets.

If you are a first time pet owner, I’m sure you would be as nervous and jittery as the puppy that you have bought. Children especially need to be educated well before a pet is bought into the house. Haven’t we all heard of stories, of cats eating gerbils, kittens being trapped behind a piano or hamsters landing on the central heating boiler, just to escape from an over enthusiastic kid? Kids, have to be told, that animals are not toys and can feel pain as much as humans do. Even adults need a lot of help and advice on the diet and general health care to be provided to their pets. It’s not only the first time pet owner, but also the seasoned pet lover, who, many a times needs help. Even a seasoned pet lover finds it difficult to find the best dog bed for their injured dog, or the best cat food that could control feline diabetes.

There are a number of sites dedicated solely to help pet lovers. You could always refer to these websites that aim to guide and help both, first time and seasoned pet owners alike. You could refer to these websites on information on what to feed, how to feed, how to protect your pets and yourself from parasites that the animals are likely to carry etc. These sites also help by providing an online community for pet lovers all over the world where pet lovers can share their love and concern for pets. It’s not just about cats and dogs, but every possible pet, that’s discussed in these sites.

Worried that your Barney hasn’t eaten anything since yesterday? Worried that Fluffy is fast turning to Flabby and need help on how to control it? Why don’t you post it on the Question and Answer section of these sites? I’m sure that there’s a pet lover somewhere, who has had a similar experience and knows, the best thing to do.
