Having Pets in Home!

Pets are good for your health, apparently. A cuddly cat, a loving dog: Some people are so attached to their pets you'd think they were part of the family.
Well, as any pet owner will tell you, they are! But unlike relationships with human family members, which can sometimes be difficult and a source of stress,
owning a pet can significantly improve overall health and reduce risk of disease. "The benefits of pet ownership are real -- physically, mentally and
psychosocially,"

Do you rear any pet at home?

             
Are you alone? Are you affected by depression? Are you worried of being bored at home? You want someone to be there to care for you without any expectations? Here is a suggestion! TRY REARING A PET AT HOME!!!!

Maintain pet(s) in home can clear off not only the above said psychological problems but also gives a state of euphoria. The main reason for this is, they expect a minimal love unlike most of our world mates. And the returns from them in terms of love and affection can go beyond universe. Studies proves that rearing pets helps in reducing the risk of being affected by psychological problems like depression, a feel of being alone, etc. pets in the sense not only big animals like dogs and cats, but having fishes at home can reduce even heart problems proved by studies.
                 
What achieves this?        

Having a pet of more keeps you in a state of being with an other living being, showing affection, feeding and maintaining them brings a bond with you that increase your psychological thinking as an extra loved one for you in this
world. Spending time with them like playing, jogging, walking, grooming them increases your exercise thereby maintains your health status in a good level.
                 
Here start the questions. From where can I get pets for rearing?

It is simple in which you can adopt a pet dog or a cat which you can encounter in streets that are homeless and seeking for care but be careful in choosing such pets in rearing inside your home. If you want a pet that needs to be with a
better look, its better to buy a pup from registered animal breeders or agents. It is always best to buy puppies rather than buying sub adults or adults so that your pet gets a feel of being in its home. Puppies around one month are
preferred. Rearing cats is much easier in maintaining where most cats accommodate and become much affectionate than dogs and most orphan and street cats gets attached to you if you show love and affection. Getting fishes can be
much easier and you can get ornamental fishes in aquariums in the town and from cities like Chennai.
                 
What is needed for rearing a pet?

For all sorts of pets, love and care is what they needs. In addition, for rearing a dog, what you need is good floor
space that is available in your home is enough. Cats even don’t require that as they always roam around. For fishes, you require an aquarium or any water storing tanks. Pets like budgerigars (which we use to call as LOVE BIRDS) require a cage according to the number of birds. Rearing animals like monitors, snakes, squirrels and wild birds are restricted by government laws.
                 
Is feeding a problem for me?

Mostly feeding will not be a problem for maintaining pets. Most of the pets had adapted themselves for thriving happily
with home made foods. And the food type depends on the age of the pet, and the type of pet. in cats it is a must to incorporate non vegetarian diet due to their inability to synthesize taurine ( an amino acid ). Feeding fishes are much simpler and can be accomplished with cheaply available commercial feeds.
                 
Will my pet be healthy?

The answer is yes if you maintain them properly. Regular grooming, deworming, vaccination, regular feeding of healthy feeds and caring helps you to rear your pets healthy.
                 
A lot of fun and satisfaction in being with pets. And being with them is much better …..
