Keeping Pets

                           

(Kar) Why do many people keep pets? Maybe they feel lonely and dull. Or they want to get joy with pets. It is true that Doctor Pet can often make the sick suffering from serious illness get well again and give them hope as well. The latter, whether they are young children or the elderly, enjoy the moment of playing with doctor pets when they visit them.
 

The advantages of having a pet not only make people relax when they play with their pets but also make them keep a sense of responsibility for pets. Furthermore, it can help those owners to widen their social circles by taking pets to go for a walk in a park or country side. Pets’ owners make friends with others there and to share their experience of keeping pets each other. It is also a good chance for parents to lead their kids to foster a positive attitude and be responsible for pets as well as being kind to animals. They have common topics to talk about and it benefits their family relationship closely.
 

On the other hand, the disadvantages of keeping pets are that Hong Kong is a small place with a large population. It is inconvenient to keep pets such as big dogs in a small flat. There is also not enough room for those dogs to live, which is bad for their health. Moreover, barking dogs make noise pollution. The relationship with neighbours may be turned sour as a result of  barking dogs. Besides, the longevity of pet is shorter than human being. For example, Most dogs usually live before the age of twenty-five. The owners will be so sad once their pets died. Some may even suffer from depression because of missing their pets.

 

In my opinion, once you have chosen a pet, you must do whatever you can in order to keep your pet happy and healthy. You should keep your home clean and treat pets with respect and kindness.
