Which pet is less expensive?
If you're looking for a new best friend and aren't in the market for a dog — or even if you already have a dog and are considering a second pet — you might consider something less expensive that can save you money — animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, hermit crabs, or others.
What is a good pet for a kid?
Smaller mammals, including hamsters, guinea pigs, and gerbils, are relatively easy to raise. Also, most will thrive in a relatively small living space, and care is fairly straightforward. Except for hamsters, which are solitary, it's best to obtain young same-sex pairs. Regular, gentle handling promotes friendliness.
What is the best pet for a lonely person?
Cats have been known to help with loneliness, anxiety, depression, and more, just like dogs. If you're looking for a pet that requires a little less attention, a cat might be your best bet. They still make for great companions, but they're also okay with being alone for a while.
