Pets are animals which we rear, love and nurture. Whether it is a dog, a cat, a fish or a bird, pets make life more interesting. They also become our companions when we are alone. They make life more interesting for us. Therefore, keeping pets has more advantages than disadvantages.

Pets are also functional as they can help us. Dogs can guard our homes. They have a very strong sense of smell and sight to enable them to see and smell any strangers who may be lurking nearby. Dogs help us feel safer in our homes. They also have a good sense of hearing and easily alert to suspicious sounds at night. Cats are also useful because they can help us keep our homes free from rats and mice. Furthermore, cats are also very cuddly and playful. It is also easy to keep them as they can clean themselves. Rearing fish is also beneficial because it can provide us with an inexpensive way to relax. Fishes are decorative, so it is very calming to watch the fishes swimming in the aquarium.

Keeping pets is also beneficial for children. Children can be given the responsibility caregivers. They learn to be independent and less self-centered by caring for the pets.

Some people with disabilities also keep pets to help them with their daily tasks. Those who are visually impaired keep guide dogs to help them get around. These guide dogs will go everywhere with their owners to guide and protect them. Others who are paralysed train their dogs to help them around the house like to fetch the newspapers and the mails.

Keeping pets comes with some responsibilities. We have to ensure that they are adequately and regularly fed. This is not a difficult task because pet food is quite cheap and it is easy to prepare. Dogs and cats can be fed with biscuits which come in packs and are ready-to-eat. They can also be fed with canned food which also does not requires no preparation. We must also provide a comfortable place for them to stay.
