Looking after pet animals

Having pets is a big responsibility. Not all animals should be kept as pets just because we want them to. Only those that can be 'pets' and at the same time live a life close to their natural ways should be considered. The well being of the animal is most important. It needs a lot of attention and care, requires ample amount of exercise, and a proper diet. They have their share of illness and in those times they must be given a lot of care and love. One thing that must be remembered at all times is that, the 'pet' is not a toy that is there for it's good looks or sweet nature and would behave the way we want them to, it is an individual animal with a mind of it's own.
