February is National Pet Dental Health Month and a great time to consider adopting a pet. Before you do, make sure you have enough time to spend with your new pet and can afford it (food, vaccines, licensing, grooming, etc).

1. You'll stay more active

People who care for a dog are healthier and live an average of three years longer than those who don’t. Most dog owners regularly take walks, which burns calories and lowers stress. Dog owners walk an average of 79 percent farther than walkers who don’t own dogs.

People who have the same types of pets often exchange stories and compare experiences about the progress and histories of their pets and generally love to talk about them with those who show interest. Pet ownership breaks the conversational ice and generates curiosity from strangers and friends alike.

3. Pets are constant companions

Even pets like fish, which have a lower maintenance factor than dogs or cats, can be steady friends. Though some pets require frequent litter care and physical attention, like walking or playtime, the unconditional love and companionship you receive in return makes it all worthwhile.

4. Pets teach kids about selflessness

Owning a pet teaches discipline and responsibility to a child. Children can learn how to share their time, savings and companionship with a pet that is solely reliant on them. If your kids want a pet that you know they’re not ready for, start smaller. If they can’t handle a dog, start with a hamster. If they can’t handle a hamster, opt for a fish.

5. For humanitarian reasons

There are many abandoned pets in shelters and too few people willing to adopt them. You will make a difference by adopting a pet and your pet will love you for it.
