What pet is right for you?
Check out our basic introduction on a variety of pets...
When choosing to introduce a new animal into the home, there are many factors within your environment and lifestyle which need to be considered, and this can be overwhelming. Selecting the right species can depend on things such as:
- Initial cost
- Recurring costs
- Longevity + lifespan
- Free time
- Space
- Complexity of the animal's needs
Every species has its own needs and requirements, and it is vital that each of these are sufficiently fulfilled. Poor planning and research can result in suffering, ailments, and potentially even the passing of an animal. At Animaltastic, we are dedicated to helping you find your perfect pet and feel confident caring for it properly. It is in everyone's best interest that a new pet owner has spent a lot of time completing a wide selection of research, so that they are aware of what they are committing to, and they are aware of the challenges of the species.
It is also worth considering that with nearly every species, there is a risk of biting! This should be something you consider before choosing a pet. This risk can generally be reduced with good knowledge and understanding of an animal, experience, and appropriate handling.
