The first problem you face when choosing a pet for yourself or your family is the kind of animal to buy. Your options are usually a dog, cat, fish or a bird. This article will advise on the best decision to make.
You need to decide whether you want a pet mainly for companionship or also for exercise or to perform the role of a guard dog, for example. If you are considering a cat there are around 59 different breeds to select from. You may wish to choose a breed of cat that sheds l
Before choosing a pet
If choosing a dog, go for a breed that is not too excitable if you have young children and do not buy a large jumping breed like a Dalmatian or potentially dangerous breed for children like a German Shepherd or killer breed such as an American Pit Bull.
In the case of a fish or bird as a pet, you should not assume that these animals will be low maintenance. A fish requires quite a lot of looking after to keep it healthy a

nd its tank needs regular cleaning similarly with a bird’s cage.
If you are choosing the pet for a family, it may be a good idea to discuss it with your children and even bring them along to the dog or cat breeder to see how they relate to the pet. My parents did that for me as an 11 year old and the dog we chose was the one that instantly bonded with me by greeting me with great enthusiasm.
Other issues you need to consider are whether you or your children suffer from allergies that co

uld be triggered off or made worse by a cat or a dog for example. If you or any member of your family suffers from allergies I would say reconsider any decision to buy a pet of any kind. Pets and allergies do not mix. However, if you feel a pet is essential for companionship or whatever reason, get your allergies checked out by a doctor and ask for advice on the best option in the way of a low allergy risk pet.
Most people benefit from having a family pet – especially children. They are great company and in the case of a dog a great way to force yourself to have regular exercise. But you need to realize there is no such thing as a zero maintenance pet. Every pet will require some real work to look after it. You must be prepared to put in the effort and look after any animal you get as a family pet.

Now a days birds have become increasingly popular as pets. And with this popularity some people have developed or become aware of sensitivity to the dust, dander, feathers and other pollutants they create. All birds are not created equal in terms of the pollutants

they create. All warm-blooded animals produced dead skin flakes and birds are no exception.
Though, some birds create a white powder in addition to dander which increases the number of airborne pollutants exponentially. These powder down birds include African Greys, Cockatoos, Cockatiels, and Amazons. And while these birds are absolute gorgeous creatures, they will produce more particulates than other birds.
Keeping the numbers low will obviously reduce the number

of particles produced. Because some birds are more social than others, your bird may have a higher quality of life if it is one of a pair. But having large numbers in captivity is sure to lead to problems for those who are allergic.
You can make cleaning so much easier by making smart choices about how your aviary is furnished. Tile, wood, and linoleum are all easier to clean than carpet and rugs.
Furniture that can be wiped down with a damp cloth will prevent partic

les that have fallen becoming airborne again. And blinds, shades, and shutters are easier to keep clean than draperies. These may seem like small choices but they make a big difference in keeping the air clearer and reducing the symptoms that result from allergies.
When it’s time to clean, here are several things to keep in mind. Using damp mops and cloths for the floor, walls, and cage will trap more particles and send fewer into the air.
A vacuum that has a special bag to trap pollutants and prevent them from going airborne again is best. When it’s time to clean the cage, taking it outside and hosing it down will send particles in the outdoor air rather than the air inside your home.
Each time your bird flies from one perch to another, or tugs at a toy, or preens itself some particles will be released into the air. That’s just part of having a feathered friend as part of your life. The only way to keep airborne particle to a minimum is to filter the air.
The most effective type of cleaner for clearing particulates from the air is a HEPA air purifier. It is able to remove particles down to.3 microns with a micron being defined as one millionth of a meter. And its efficiency is such that for every 10,000 airborne particles in the air, it will remove 99,997 of them with 99.97% efficiency.
