How do i pick the right pet?

You think it over with yourself or with your partners or room mates, what would be the most fitting pet according to lifestyle, and then you choose.

For example a dog requires at least three walks a day. Is there someone in the house to take the dog out? If you have a very small appartment maybe you should choose a smaller dog. If you have a huge yard maybe you should consider adopting something a little bigger.

Are there children? You want a dog that will be children friendly.

Do you want a dog that is already house-trained, or are you willing to take a very young puppy and train it?

And we haven't even started talking about cats, let alone less popular pets like rabbits or a pony...
