Love animals? Crystal loves them so much that both of her blogs, WELCOME TO CRYSTAL’S SITE(ORIGINALLY COUNTRY LIVING) and CRYSTAL AND DAISY MAE’S PHOTO-BLOGGING SITE, are dedicated to them.
Here’s Crystal’s advice for soon-to-be pet owners…
Deciding whether to get a pet? Some things to consider first…
- Will you adopt, rescue, or buy it from a pet shop?
- How will you get your new friend spayed/neutered?
- What is the background of the pet you’re looking to get?
- If you have children, will the pet get along with them?
- Is the pet trained? Or will it need to attend obedience school?
- Will your pet live indoors, outdoors, or a combination of both?
- If you rent, does your landlord allow pets?
- If you’re getting a dog, what size can you reasonably handle?
Once you decide to get a pet, here are a few things you need to do before bringing them home…
- Be sure to take it to the vet to make sure everything is alright.
- Make a pet emergency kit for each one.
- If you’re getting a cat, for every cat there should be two litter boxes. For example, for one cat, there should be two litter boxes. For three cats there should be four litter boxes, and so on.
- Set aside extra money for in case of unexpected vet trips.
- If you’re getting a dog, make sure it has someplace to exercise, and that your home is big enough.
These are only a few things you need to do when looking for a pet. I suggest that you either adopt or rescue one, rather than buy one from a pet shop!

As someone who adopted a wonderful rescue just under a year ago, I’ll never “shop” again. It’s been one of the best journeys I’ve been on so far and it’s a journey worth taking. These tips and questions to ask yourself before getting a pet are definitely some of the most important things to consider.

I’d love to get a cat and a dog but right now I have a parrot and guinea pig. I think I’d better not. 🙂

That almost sounds like the intro to a joke….getting a dog is no small matter for sure but is loads of fun. Check out how much fun a Labrador can be if you don’t believe me. My Chocolate Brown Lab Dudley has kept me blogging for six months….

Great list of to-dos prior to getting a pet. Many folks do no consider these things and that is why many pets end of being dumped or surrendered to a shelter.
