As a rule, the question of which animal to get in an apartment is set in two cases: in the first parents, young children are urged to take such a responsible step, who plead with begging eyes to buy them a dog, a cat or a hamster;in the second case, lonely people who lack spiritual warmth think about it, but at the same time, they are busy enough to fully care for their "friend."This is just the case when you seem to want to get a smart dog, but in the end you stop on silent fish only because they do not require 100% attention to yourself.
What kind of pet is best to have in the apartment
Cat in the apartment
To the issue of choice, still connects a small apartment area in which family members and those barely fit. Where else can I get a labrador or a German shepherd? Let's consider the neighborhood options with households of various pets. And start with some of the smartest.

Puppies in the apartment
The dog is considered the most intelligent and loyal pet, not for nothing is called a four-legged friend. Probably, this is the best option for children and their parents, as the dogs are very devoted to their master, but not as peculiar as cats, or not as indifferent as fish. They are attached to family members exactly as much as the owners are attached to the dog, and stories about how these intelligent animals cross thousands of kilometers in search of owners who have left for another city, tighten the heart. The advantages of the presence of the dog in the apartment are obvious, so lovers of hairy handsome men do not even think what kind of animal is better to have in the apartment - they just choose a dog.

Along with the obvious pluses of coexistence of dogs and people, there are certainly some disadvantages:
- First of all, this is a daily care. Birds and fish also need to be taken care of every day, but are you ready to walk at least twice a day to walk the dog, and in the morning you need to take a walk with her and not be late for work, and in the evening again go for a walk, when, in general,already forces on what is not present.
- Secondly, training. A dog needs to be given a lot of time if you want to make something worthwhile from it.
- Third, the expensive feed - are you ready to spend a month a certain amount to feed your pet?
- Fourth, additional costs of finance and time for the passage of all medical preventive measures and vaccinations.
- Fifth, the extra space, because the maintenance of animals in the apartment requires a separate space for them
Do not stop such difficulties? Then go ahead! Choose a suitable breed and bring it into the house, only keep in mind that in the first months you will often step on puddles abandoned by the puppy without malicious intent.

If the apartment cat
Someone more loves dogs, and some cats, and the latter argue that a more affectionate animal is difficult to find. She will rub on her leg, and pomurlychet, and some doctors even allocate a cat therapy( which scientifically called felinotherapy) in a very important part of the normalization of a person's mental health. The cat with its rumbling and caressing helps with depression, treats neuroses and heart disorders.

In the care this animal is less whimsical than the dog. To go out into the street the cat can independently, the main thing in time to open to her the front door. And if you accustom the cat to go into the tray, then the need for street walks is completely eliminated.
These were the pluses of keeping a cat in an apartment, and now let's talk about the minuses. The first disadvantage is the smell. But you can put up with it. Make sure that the tray is always clean, if there is no accumulation of animal products, then there will be no smell. For extra cleanliness, use special fillers for cat pots, they absorb liquid and do not give odors to spread around the apartment. If a cat lives in the house and the smell is not associated with a dirty tray, but with the fact that it marks the territory, the best way will be castration of the animal.
Animal maintenance in apartment
Another disadvantage is that an animal of the cat family can cause irreparable damage to your repair and furniture. It is about the sharp claws of a cat and its constant desire to sharpen them. In the course are carpets and rugs, sofas and armchairs. However, if you accustom the cat to clean the claws about a special device that is sold in any pet store, then your upholstered furniture and wallpaper will most likely remain in its original form.
In addition, prepare for the fact that the wool will be everywhere, especially in places where cats like to sleep, and long-haired breeds will also need to be combed regularly, so that the hair does not get tangled. Any place in the house can take care of the cat's sleep, especially the wardrobe and shelves with clothes, but they also live in special houses for cats or sleep on soft fabric beds.

The following shortcomings are not so significant anymore: these are additional expenses for vaccinations and special food, collars or sprays for fleas and ticks( by the way, fleas live even in cats wool, which do not go out at all).And at first it will be necessary to accustom the kitten to the pot and keep it away from the curtains - they really like to ride on curtains and curtains.
And can there be rodents?
Hamster, rats, laboratory mice and guinea pigs are pretty funny animals, but for an amateur. It's interesting to watch them as they take food with their front paws, how they stuff their cheeks, how they run around with a businesslike look around the apartment. Often they make provisions in the most unexpected places, and, naturally, they chew everything, justifying their true name. Such small animals often appear in houses where children live, but here it is necessary to warn that rats, hamsters and guinea pigs can bite, and, of course, the parents of a small child will not like it.
In addition, the cage where these lovely creatures live, you need to regularly look after and clean it. Many are wondering how to get rid of the smell of an animal in the apartment, we answer - just need to clean up the products of their vital activity in time, clean the cage, if it comes to rodents and birds, and wash the tray if it comes to cats. To the minuses of the neighborhood of rodents in the apartment can be attributed a short period of their life, they live several times less than cats and dogs.

Birds in the apartment
An interesting option for those who do not need tactile contact with the animal. You can pat the bird, of course, but you can not press it to the breast like a cat, and you will not lose it by the ear like a dog. Most often, parrots and canaries are planted in the apartments, care for them is minimal - just something to monitor the presence of food, water and regularly clean up in a cage( at least twice a week).Yes, and live parrots and canaries for a relatively long time - 15-20 years, delighting the hosts with a gentle trill and even human speech.
From the minuses, it can be noted that the birds wake up early and can wake up the household with their singing. But we solve this issue too - we just need to cover the cage with a dense cloth.

Fishes and turtles in the apartment
Watching the movement of fish in the aquarium is quite an interesting activity. The underwater world always calmed and relaxed the person, and if he is still in the apartment, then in general the benefit is double. But, by experience, we can say that to fish and turtles, children quickly lose interest - they can only be watched, they can not be pressed to the chest. ..
It happens that the owners start allergies with the appearance of fish in the apartment. If you are allergic to dry fish food, you can always buy live food or in the form of flakes. This is what concerns fish, and the turtle in general is vegetarian, give her the leaves of dandelion, plantain, lettuce, cabbage, and she eats the cut vegetables.

We hope that our recommendations will facilitate a difficult choice concerning the question of which animal to bring into the apartment. And the last advice - choose the animal to which your soul lies, only then care of it does not burden you, but will give joy.
