If you already have pets, then understanding how introducing a new pet could impact or affect your current animals is one important consideration.

Doing research on the different species and breeds will help you find a pet that matches your preferences and will teach you about their specific needs.

As every pet is unique, they show signs of ageing differently so it’s important to make some considerations where you can.
