In 2023, Americans spent 147 billion dollars on pets. Can you imagine spending that much just on pets? Well, today I will tell you why pets are so great. Some things pets do is make you feel cheerful, and you can do so much with your pet.

I have 3 pets, Jinxy (9-year-old Siamese cat), Tobi (2-year-old Dachshund), and Archie (8-month-old Dachshund). Jinxy and Tobi are girls and Archie is a boy. Archie always wants to play with Jinxy and Tobi but they never want to play with Archie. Tobi and Jinxy are really sweet to people but Archie will sometimes growl at new people. Archie also loves to play with toys and be outside.

Just like people, pets need to eat everyday. You need to feed bigger animals twice a day but small animals once a day. Make sure to only feed dogs, dog food and cats, cat food. You can’t feed animals human food all the time, however, every once in a while you can give them a little bit of human food. You also need to get your pets cages, toys, water, etc.

You might be wondering why you should get a pet if you have to do all that work. Well, pets can help you be happy because they can lay down with you, and pets can make you laugh when they play with their toys. Pets can sometimes make you mad if they have an accident on your floor, but they mostly make you feel joyful especially when they snuggle up to you. You can also walk your pets and you can play fetch with them.

So now you know all about pets. If you were thinking about getting a pet, I hope this story helped you decide. If you are getting a pet, check out this animal shelter. I hope your new pet can be just as great as mine.
