Teaching children and adults about pet care has many educational and animal health benefits. Studies show interacting with birds and animals gives people a sense of comfort, and people who learn about proper pet care are less likely to abuse or neglect an animal during their lifetime. Children develop a sense of responsibility as pets need regular feeding, grooming, and cleaning.
If you are thinking of getting a pet for a child it is a good idea to teach them how to properly care for the pet and when the pet arrives make a feeding, grooming, and health schedule. It is not a good idea to get a pet unless you can afford to buy pet food, grooming supplies, and regular veterinarian care. Do your research before getting a pet to make sure the pet you choose is a good fit for your lifestyle. Owning a pet is usually a long term commitment of 10 years or more.
Some schools have classroom pets to help children develop pet care skills. Classroom pets may be a good educational experience, however, plans should be made in advance on who will take full responsibility when the school year is over. Please leave a comment in the box below.
