But here are some important things to think about before beginning your pet search:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Does anyone in your home have allergies?&nbsp;<\/li><li>Would a \u201ccontained\u201d pet, like a hamster, be a better fit for your household?<\/li><li>Do you have ample space for everything the pet will need?<\/li><li>Who will take over if your child loses interest or goes away to college?<\/li><li>Is there room in your budget for up-front costs, regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/pet-wellness.html\">preventive care<\/a>, and unexpected <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/would-you-know-a-pet-emergency-if-you-saw-one\/\">emergencies<\/a>?&nbsp;<\/li><li>Do you have other pets that will be impacted by the new addition?<\/li><li>Do you have access to veterinary care for the species you\u2019re considering?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Popular First Pets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fish have become the quintessential first pet for good reason: these easy-to-care-for pets are colorful, quiet, and fun to watch. With parental supervision, even young children can help feed fish and choose accessories for the tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Low-maintenance pets contained in cages or habitats, such as guinea pigs and hamsters, can be ideal for children old enough to understand gentle handling. Monitor your child\u2019s interactions with the pet, and remind your child to provide food and fresh water daily.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cuddle-Worthy Kittens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing turns up the cuteness quotient quite like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/cute-and-fluffy-but-not-invincible\/\">kitten<\/a>! Adopting a feline friend is a fabulous choice for children who can handle a tad more responsibility. Cats are brimming with playful energy (just like most kids!) and love playing with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/lets-play-popular-pet-toys\/\">toys<\/a>, so they can keep each other entertained. You\u2019ll probably still have to pitch in with litter box duty, but your child can provide fresh water and food, and help with grooming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Man\u2019s (and Kid\u2019s) Best Friend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Affectionate, loyal, and overflowing with unconditional love, dogs are currently the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avma.org\/javma-news\/2021-12-01\/pet-population-still-rise-fewer-pets-household\">No.1 companion pet in the United States<\/a>. Dogs are a perennial favorite for older children mature enough to walk a dog, take him outside for potty breaks, and assist with grooming. Owning a dog does require plenty of adult supervision, especially when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/mission-impossible-effective-ways-to-house-train-your-dog\/\">house training<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We\u2019re Here for You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you welcome a new dog or cat into your household, please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/\">contact us<\/a> to schedule a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/pet-wellness.html\">wellness visit<\/a>\u2014it\u2019s the perfect way to teach your child the importance of providing animals with proper veterinary care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Children and cuddly critters go together like peanut butter and jelly, which is why many kids plead with their parents for a pet to call their own.
