There is a magical bond between children and pets no matter what animal it is. Once you welcome any animal into your home, you are also allowing it into your heart. Dogs, cats, rabbitsand even smaller creatures such as mice and hamsters all make ideal pets for your children. Although you may be drawn to the animals in the local pet shop, you need to be aware that there are many others in animal shelters all over the country.
Even the animals that you might not necessarily think about such as rabbits, will allow your family to bond. Enhancing the family time you have together, and allowing your children to develop new skills. Animals are very calming to have in the home, and will offer your children an opportunity to have responsibility. Although some animals are thought to be far too independent such as cats, you will be surprised how close they are to your children, and become part of the family very quickly. Having a pet can teach your children how to look after something other than just them. They can learn the basics of pet care, and how to be responsible for an animal. Responsibility is a great skill to learn and will benefit them in older life. As your child begins to take care of the pet they will begin to understand more about the environment they live in. No matter what animal you decide to give a home to, whether it be rabbits, dogs or cats your children will learn so much from having them there.
Children who grow up with pets in the house have been proved to be healthier and happier children. They are less likely to suffer from obesity, and often their social skills will be far better developed than other children. Stress has also been proven to be reduced when there is a pet in the home, and they can also stop a daily routine becoming boring. It is surprising how much the whole family will benefit from having something as simple as pet rabbits. Although these are not the conventional type of pets such as cats and dogs they are still great animals to own.
Adopting animals is a great idea, and if you can help by getting one from the local animal shelter it is even better. There are far too many dogs, cats, rabbits and other small domestic animals in the shelters all needing good homes. If you can offer just one of these animals another chance of a new life they will appreciate it forever. You will find that animals from the shelters are very affectionate, and will be lifelong friends to you and your children.
Unlike some dogs from the shelter you will not need to be as wary when giving rabbits or cats a home. They are less likely to be aggressive, and will need less care than a bigger animal. No matter what animal you decide on they will bring many years of happiness and love to your whole family. Your children will grow up with a friend for life, and you will have a companion even after the children have left home. The hardest decision you will have is choosing from the hundreds of different animals that are on offer.
