A pet is an animal kept for companionship and enjoyment or a household animal, as opposed to livestock, laboratory animals, working animals or sport animals, which are kept for economic reasons. The most popular pets are noted for their loyal or playful characteristics, for their attractive appearance, or for their song. Pets also generally seem to provide their owners with non-trivial health benefits; keeping pets has been shown to help relieve stress to those who like having animals around. There is now a medically-approved class of "therapy animals," mostly dogs, that are brought to visit confined humans. Walking a dog can provide both the owner and the dog with exercise, fresh air, and social interaction.

Local restrictions

Many cities and towns have local ordinances limiting the number of pets a person may have, and may also restrict or forbid certain pets (such as fowl or exotics). Certain breeds of dog, such as pit bulls and rottweilers, are banned in some places. Dog/other canid/wolf mixes are also banned in some places.

The cities of Berkeley, California and Boulder, Colorado have passed laws stating that people who have pets do not "own" them; rather, they are the pet's "guardian."

Condominium associations and rental properties often ban animals because of the smells and noise the animals create.

How many people give pets as a Christmas gift?
Q. I have never felt that giving pets as a "throw away" holiday gift was a very good idea, especially to very young children. They don't really know how to care for or properly handle a kitten or small puppy. Then after the novelty wears off, the poor animal is often mistreated or neglected, then thrown outside when the coldest part of the winter is settling in to starve or freeze to death. PLEASE - don't give pets as gifts, especially without consulting parents or guardians!

What happens when your flying a pet interstate and it has a stopover? Where do they keep the pets?
Q. I have a puppy from Adelaide being flown up to the pilbara today. He has a stopover in Perth for 30-35 minutes. What will happen to him there? Do they store the pets in air-conditioning, are they fed? Looked over to make sure they are ok? Are they given water?

A. For a 35 minute stopover he would stay in the freight hanger If he missed his connection then the airline would be required (we hope!) to send him to a kennel

What is the best brand out there of microchip IDs for pets?
Q. What is the best brand out there of microchip IDs for pets? I'd love to hear peoples' experiences - good or bad - with the various brands of microchip IDs for pets. I'm looking at Avid, 24 Hour Pet Watch, Home Again and Trovan for use in a new animal shelter.
Asked by Happy to Help - Thu Jul 10 11:17:08 2008 - - 5 Answers - 1 Comments

A. I would say Avid. And they are sure to work with all AVID scanners. Every vet has or should have an avid scanner. They are fast and can get you pet back fast.
