Choosing a Pet

pet

PET is a chemically 100% recyclable plastic and has a number of benefits for the environment. It is safe for food and beverage packaging, is resistant to attack by micro-organisms and will not biologically degrade in the environment. It is also lightweight, simple to transport and shatterproof making it an attractive choice for many applications.

Animals for kids

Children are the perfect age to get pets and there is no shortage of animals that are suitable for children to look after. Lizards, for example, are calm and gentle creatures that do not need a lot of space to live. They are also very entertaining and often get a child’s attention for their sweet voice or colorful personality.

Hamsters

Another great pet for young children, hamsters do not require a large enclosure and are very friendly. They are highly intelligent and are easy to train. They are also nocturnal creatures and make noise at night, so children can easily find entertainment in watching them play.

Turtles

The most popular and most fun of all small pets for kids, turtles are low maintenance and easy to take care of. They are also known for their patience and ability to sit still for long periods of time.

Dogs and cats

The world’s favourite pets, dogs and cats are the most common companions for people throughout the world. They are both affectionate and playful, and can help teach children responsibility and compassion.

Despite all the benefits that come with having a pet, sometimes you just cannot commit to keeping one. That is not to say that you can’t have one, but it is important to know your options when it comes to bringing an animal into your life.
