Pets make for amazing companions and they teach quite a lot to your growing child at this stage and for quite a long time in life in general. Having a pet is one thing, but taking care of it can be a whole other. Your child needs to be prepared just as much as you need to be before getting one to be a part of your family.

1. Keeping your child’s development in mind, think of all the different animals you can adopt. Narrow it down to the most suitable companion for your child. Prep her up by letting her know that there will be a new addition to the family.

2. Know about your child’s allergies to different animals. Quite frequently, children are allergic to dog fur and cat fur. But, you may never know what she may be allergic to.

3. Get your child used to the idea of having a pet. It may scare her or make her feel she is not the centre of attraction anymore. So, make her feel comfortable with having a pet as her new best friend. Tell her about all the fun she will have with her pet.

4. It will also take a while for your pet to get used to your family. It can make an attack when feel scared or threatened. It may bite or scratch you or your child. Be prepared for this by keeping a first aid kit handy.

5. Make sure your pet is vaccinated. This will keep your pet healthy. Give it frequent baths and keep it clean. This will also reflect up on your child’s health.
