    How to Find a One of a Kind Pet

    Every child wants a pet. Most of them want a dozen or so. But kids
    are notoriously irresponsible when it comes to pet care. Many kids
    convince their parents to get them a pet by swearing that they will
    take care of all the pet's needs. This is usually true for a few
    weeks or even a few months. But once the new wears off the animal,
    the quality of care declines rapidly. After a short time the parents
    usually find themselves taking care of all the pet's needs.

    A good way to test your child's level of responsibility before you
    commit to an animal that requires a great deal of care is to start
    with small, simple pets first. As your child passes the pet care
    test, you can move up in complexity and the amount of care required.
    If they pass all the levels you can be fairly sure they will care
    for the pet at least most of the time.

    A good pet to start kids off with is a hermit crab. There is little
    care required other than keeping it fed and providing water. Though
    not as fun to play with as a dog, kids will enjoy watching the crab
    do its thing. After a couple of months of successful hermit crab
    care, your child has established responsibility and is ready for
    the next level.

    It's now time to test them with something warm blooded. A hamster is
    the best choice. They don't take up much room and besides basic
    feeding and watering, the child must now also conduct some
    housecleaning. If you see that the cage isn't being cleaned
    regularly, you can be sure the child will not properly care for a
    dog. Advise your child of the situation and see if it gets resolved.
    nths of proper hamster care should you consider getting a dog.

    When the time comes, sit down with your child and make sure that
    they understand everything that caring for a dog entails. It's a
    good idea to prepare a list of tasks that need to be completed
    before you bring a dog home. If your lead up testing was successful,
    your child should have no problem doing what needs to be done to
    care for the dog.
