Close friends of ours are planning to get a dog. As I was searching for helpful information to post a Blog on this subject a CBC radio science program summer rerun obliged me today with very interesting information concerning the type of pet that would suit each family. Retirement is coming up for our friends in a few years.
There are some great books on the subject and Temple Grandin has written “Animals Make Us Human” that seems to cover all angles. During many years of constant travel while doing her research on all types of pets it was difficult for her to own a dog of her own. Dogs are considered very social, helpful, and family oriented, while cats are more independent. Working families find it more convenient to have cats since they sleep during the day and have the family around during the night. Dogs can become very lonely when left alone all day and often try to chew their way out to find their family. Our local library has 13 copies that are all checked out at the moment but one can sign up on the waiting list. Your local book stores will have copies available for purchase as well.
Until you choose your own local veterinarian further information regarding pet care including required vaccinations can be found at: www.BeaverAnimalClinic.com.
