Pets are extremely popular. Many people all over the world own pets of their own. They can range a LOT in many ways. Everyone knows that kids always ask for a cat or dog all the time. It can be extremely annoying! However, I think that they should be allowed to own one and these are my reasons why.
First, Kids should learn to take care of something other than themselves. All pets take a lot of work and I believe kids should learn first-hand how to care for another being. It can also help them learn to research things about the animal or animals they wish to adopt. It will teach them to choose wisely about the pet they wish to adopt.
Next, they will very quickly learn how incredibly expensive pet care tends to be. Pets are extremely pricey and the cost of things like feed, toys, maybe a kennel or cage, etc. can and will teach how much certain things cost and that pet care is not in any way cheap. Kids will have to make affordable choices and not spend money on things that will be unneeded. For example, it can take up to 700$ to feed a dog yearly. By learning that, children will have to maybe make less expensive decisions possibly later on.
Also, another reason is that kids will have a great companion in their lives. Pets can become incredibly loyal friends to children and help decrease loneliness. A study shows that pets can help kids with mental health and can decrease stress. Pets can also be chosen to fit a specific home or environment and there is a large variety of options.
Pets are very beneficial. I’m writing this because I helped raise a pet and I seriously loved the whole process. I know that not all kids should have pets, but this is my conclusion on why kids should be allowed to raise pets.
