It is fun and exciting having a pet at home but it also comes with lots of challenges and responsibilities.
As a pet owner, it is your duty and obligation to provide all that your pet needs to be happy and live a healthy life.
Most people just want to have a pet without knowing what it takes to keep it safe and healthy. But be rest assured! In this article, we will discuss some pets and possible challenges to expect.
Owning A Dog Has A Pet

Dogs are energetic animals, they love to have fun but too much of this can lead to destruction of things such as clothing, books, household items, furniture etc. They love to scratch, gnaw and bite so be prepared to spend your money replacing those things they destroyed and as well as develop more patience.
Having a new dog at home requires training on how to use the potty so as to prevent the dog from peeing and pooping anywhere it feels like. Although there are diapers specially made for dogs, this can go a long way in preventing your home from being a mess.
Owning A Cat Has A Pet

Cats love to play, each kick, pounce and swat is a form of physical enhancement but this can also leave their playmate with scratches and bites and these bites can get infected if not properly treated.
Be prepared to treat fleas as this is the most common external parasite of cats. A cat might become aggressive due to some factors such as lack of socialization, overcrowding, illness and sometimes it’s being playful. Make sure to discuss this with your vet to determine the cause of its aggression
Owning A Monkey Has A Pet

Having a monkey as a pet is just like keeping other types of pets. They can live for 20 to 40 years of age. They do not grow and mature like humans do but remain as toddlers so prepared to stay committed. Although they are cute, they require constant care and attention. Due to their lifespan this means that, for 20 to 40 years, you have to provide diapers and as well manage their aggressive behaviors such as throwing feces and biting.
Conclusion
Before owning a particular pet, make research about their behavior, the things they like, what they eat and also if your environment is conducive enough for them to live in. Most importantly, if you are financially capable of owning that pet.
