If you are a new pet owner, or considering becoming a new pet owner, you'll find the answer to many of your common questions regarding pet ownership.
Pets can bring so much to our lives. But in return, we are responsible for theirs, and are making a committment to them for their entire lives.
If you know at the outset that you cannot care for the pet throughout its entire life, please reconsider adopting one. The average family cat or dog may live beyond 10 to 15 years.
If you are a parent and are considering a pet for your children, understand that you will be financially and ethically responsible for the pet's care, regardless of the promises your children make to you.
