Pros and Cons of getting a pet.

 

Summary: Mom, are you being pressured by multiple tear-filled eyes begging you for a dog? Cat? Or some sort of family pet. Is someone in your family an animal lover, but you not-so-much? Cathrine and Tracy both share their own experiences and opinions on pets from acquiring fury friends out of total mom-guilt to a beta fish committing suicide to Tracy having to confront a literal cat burglar....the stories are real!

 

What do the studies show? Yes! It is a fact that the pros of pets is a thing. There are many health benefits to owning a pet including stress relief, blood pressure regulation and more. However, there are also cons like the added mess and stress of pet care. We go over all the pros and cons to help you think about everything before you add a four-legged family member. We cover ALL of the questions one MUST ask themselves before making the huge commitment of pet ownership.
