Choosing A Pet For Your Apartment

When one lives' in an apartment having a pet can be so difficult .Not only will you consider your needs,' but most especially your neighbor

. Pets bring wellness, happiness and relaxation through their companionship and unwavering love. It is also a good venue for parents to teach children responsibility. With an active pet other family members can play by taking the pet outdoors.

When choosing a pet, cats and dogs come first, though a lot of things have to be considered as well:

Pet fees or deposit - Does your apartment community require you to pay a monthly fee or one-time deposit to keep certain types of pets, like a cat or dog? This can sometimes be a large investment that you'll need to save up for. Also check with your property management company to review their policy on damages caused by pets. Some apartment communities have a weight limit on the size of dog you can have - you'll want to check into this as well.

Roommate- If living with a roommate, kindly request for their permission to have a pet. It might be even better to ask for their opinion on the kind of pet they want. Pets need our patience, care and sense of responsibility. We need also to remember that some of our roommates may be allergic, it can also cost inconvenience to them.

Commitment - How much time do you have to devote to a pet? If you're a student or working a full-time job, it's not likely you'll be able to spend time with him during the day. If this is the case, then a puppy probably the best option for you. Also keep in mind that most dogs will need to be let out during the day, so you'll need to spend time over your lunch break doing so.

Living space -is your apartment big enough? It is important to remember when living in a limited space, a bulky and busy as bee pet is a big No. Such pets love nothing other than roam, play and run around.

Exercise needs - Does your apartment community have a lot of outdoor space, or is it nearby a park? If not, you may want to consider a pet other than a dog, which many times need plenty of room to run around and get exercise.

Neighbors-It is of course your pet, but be considerate to your neighbor -a lot of dog breeds bark loudly, very vocal that may cause disturbance to your neighborhood followed by complaints.

After considering these factors, if you decide a cat or dog isn't right for you, there are plenty of other options. You may consider a rabbit, hamster, guinea pig, or bird for your apartment, as they require much less time and attention.
