Hi we have several pets at home 10 goldfish 4 cats 1 dog 3 ducks and 7 chickens they all play a role in our lives the advantages of having pets at home are stress releif pets are a good way to releive stress watch gold fish swim around a tank is very relaxing. Playing with our dog is great fun and relaxing also he is great company when nobody else is home. Cats are also great company and they also love to play and show their love and affection. The ducks and chickens are great as they keep us in eggs and they eat the leftover food. The disadvantages of having pets is finding someone to feed them when we go away for a few days. The dog and the cats leave their hair all around the house and they also get into the rubish bin and make a mess. Although pets have their disadvantages we love them dearly and we wouldn't be without them.

Hi ssomraj! welcome at mylot. Sure pets are good companion for us. And i think they will teach us and our kids to respect nature. For my self that living with one cat and one dogs are been wonderful. Since i living alone here at Bali island for working, their companion are been bliss. My cat always waiting for me in the end of stair every night i finish working. It felt like ive been needed. I will felt lonely if i am alone without them.

Hi! Pets are indeed good.When children grow up with pets their behaviour is very nice,they become very caring.They consider it a companion and they learn to treat it with kindness.Many elderly and home bound people find that caring for a pet helps them hold onto the world of reality and of strong emotional relationships.Having a pet is a stress buster.One has to try it to know the benefits.My hubby works for long hours and comes home very late.When he comes he is so tired but when my dog comes and plays with him atleast for 10-15 minutes,he just feels so good.I am alone at home my only companion is my dog.He also takes care of my security.I dont feel scared to stay alone in this big house because my dog is around.These are all the advantages Disadvantages are there.Till they are toilet trained they do tend to mess up the place like kids.I used to think it would be nice if we had diapers for pets.They are so much like human beings.You just cant leave them alone.Wherever I go I have to get back home to feed him.If we go away for holidays he frets and refuses to eat.They get very attached to you so you cant leave your pet with someone to look after.I find these as very minor disadvantages.For me the advantages are more.Any day I would recommend having a pet.
