I believe that most parents have encountered such a situation: one day after school, your child blinking eyes, put on a good voice to ask you: “I want to raise a kitten / puppy / chickens / ducklings can? Please, I will take good care of them. ……” At this point, is it a no or a yes? What should you pay attention to if you want to add such a fluffy little friend to your home?

Owning a pet can develop a sense of responsibility in children: owning a pet can make children understand that love is not an impulse or passion, but responsibility and giving. In the process of caring for pets, more hands are allowed to be used by children, thus can develop a sense of responsibility to help children.

Helps physical development: In modern life, the temptation of TV, cell phones and games is huge, and more and more children like to stay at home, which can have a lot of bad effects on their physical fitness and development, whereas romping and playing with pets and being outdoors can help children’s physical health.

Companionship and Joy: In the city, many children grow up lacking companionship, and animals will bring a sense of peace to children. When they are with animals, children will be more relaxed, and they will be more willing to confide in their pet buddies when they are sad, upset, or angry, and pets love their owners unconditionally, and they will be more patient and listen, so that children will get comfort and fulfillment from them.

Pet vaccines and de-worming: The most important thing to do when getting a pet for your child is to make sure that the pet is healthy, so always remember to vaccinate and de-worm your pet on a regular basis.

Parents should pay attention to the care: the baby’s young age, lack of awareness of the danger, at any time may go to scratch the pet’s ears or tail, in case of encountering the animal flipped, the consequences may be unimaginable.

Try not to feed your baby in front of pets: Pets have a keen sense of smell, so if parents feed their baby in front of pets, especially strong-smelling food, there is no guarantee that it won’t cause the pets to snatch the food, which can put the child at risk of being attacked.

Keep clean: pet feces must be cleaned up in time, food troughs and other pet utensils should also be disinfected frequently, because the pet’s body hair, paws, and sleeping nooks are very easy to breed bacteria or parasites, and should be cleaned up regularly, so as not to spill over to the baby’s health.
