Pets And Animal Guide

Article Title: Pets And Animal Guide
Author: Lijo George

Sooner or later many parents have to face their child's wish
for its own pet. Whether dog or cat, hamster or pony, the choice
for the right pet has to be a conscious one. The contact with
and proper keeping of animals in a flat requires knowledge of
the diet and character of the animal. To keep a pet means to be
ready to carry responsibility.

It is important to daily play with the animal, to feed it and
to understand when it does not feel so well. Many children
confuse the wish for a pet with the substitute for a toy and are
then easily overwhelmed with the keeping of and care for the
pet. This work then becomes the parent's task, which was not
meant to be the purpose. Before parents agree to the wish, it is
important to explain to the child what daily responsibility,
necessary care and limited free time mean.

Only when the child is fully aware of what it really means to
keep an own animal, one should give its OK. If you are not sure
right from the start which breed to choose, it is always
advisable to have a look into adequate literature on the topic.
In addition you can receive good advise from qualified personnel
in a pet shop or in an animal shelter. It is important that no
hastily decisions are taken, but that it develops into a relaxed
and joyful undertaking.

Working animal

We will probably never know for sure, what the very first
coming together of pet and man was like. Pets originally derive
from wild animals. Man's agenda with breeding animals was to
easily gain sustainable access to products and raw materials for
food development. Man easily understood the different
possibilities in which animals could be of use and he utilized
the drought power of many animals.

Horses for example were used as working animals in forest- or
field works.

We know that dogs are the best snoopers and track seekers. The
most important is their nose, because their scenting ability is
a lot better than that of man. Dogs are not only used to track
down drugs or explosives, but also to find people who have been
buried by an avalanche and are lying meters in the snow.

In science animals are mainly used to have the tolerance of new
medicines tested. Only since the last century they have been
used for animal experiments for tests in medicine but also
cosmetics.

The Pet and animal guide is not aiming at experts but is rather
a source of information for the average animals friend. The site
is meant to provide you with information on the variety of
species that can be kept as pets. This portal is for the amateur
but also for the passionate animal lover and contains many
pictures, articles and portraits of the different breeds.

Hardly any other topic offers you this great possibility to
share your experiences with other people and to support each
other with tips and ideas.

lot of topics concerning "animals".
