Pet ownership is not only rewarding but also brings big responsibilities with it. As a pet owner you have to take care of all your pet’s needs and it requires considerable amount of time, money and commitment.

• Are you prepared for pet?
The most important question, before you become a pet owner is that are you prepared to take the responsibility of pets for lifetime. Small pups and kittens are adorable and cute. But you can’t just abandon them when they grow old. Pets are usually curious about new things and surroundings. So you have to be prepared for all the exploring and nibbling.

• Will you be able to care for them?
Pets don’t have the faculty of words like us, you have to judge their feelings through their actions and behavior. Pets are very similar to small children. They need to be pampered and taken care of.
