So think about your lifestyle.
If you're going to be home, are you going to be able to meet that animal's needs?
Not only from an exercise point of view, but from a grooming point of view and all those other enrichment points of view as well.
Look at the costs for what it's going to cost you.
It is different.
Dogs are more expensive than cats to maintain, even to set up and then maintain.
And then what you're gonna do about, what's your lifestyle look like in terms of going on holidays and what are you gonna do about those sorts of things as well.
And don't forget about the fact that whenever you bring an animal into your home, there's a period where everyone has to get used to each other and there's training to be done.
And it is, you know, it's great fun, but it,
but it does require work.
It's not a set and forget.
So you do have to set aside some time to make sure that you can help that animal settle in well so that it really works for the animal and for your family.
that's right and I think you know things like um yeah if you if you if you like camping and you're always going to national parks dogs are a problem you're not allowed to take them there and I and you shouldn't break the rules on that there's really good reasons there's good reasons for that in any case that's just the rule um and um uh so I think and so that's an issue so maybe a cat or a rabbit might work um where you can actually um you know you can probably manage that a little bit better if you have cats and you're uh owning them
Responsibly, we really encourage people to contain them, which means keeping them inside and perhaps having a cat run that is enclosed outside.
In any case, you're up for litter boxes.
So you're going to change your kitty litter, you know,
you know, every day or two, depending on what your setup is.
So, you know, there's work to be done and it does take time and commitment to do all that.
and we talk about that in terms of adoption or breeders and how to go about doing that and that so you know the average cost of you know adopting a you know an animal from a shelter um you know is probably somewhere between two and four hundred dollars or so those animals come uh de-sex microchipped vaccinated all those sorts of things so it's an all-in type of um it's an all-in type of cost um
So that's the acquiring the animal.
