Animals

Just about every child wants a pet -- from the moment they first lay eyes on a furry little kitten or puppy, children will likely be determined to be new pet owners. Although the process of teaching your child how to raise that pet can be a time-consuming and challenging struggle, the experience is useful in teaching them life-long skills that help them better understand responsibility and proper care for others. But how do you balance the needs of both your pet and your child? With Your Child's First Pet, you can feel confident that the process will be a safe, fun learning experience.

This book provides a detailed walkthrough of how to best acclimate a child to raising a pet and ensure that the pet you adopt or purchase is one that they can handle and that will thrive in their care. You will be guided through the process of understanding your child's personality type and choosing the best species and breed of animal that matches that maturity level.

Learn the specific needs of the most common pets, including feeding requirements, living environments, and medical procedures. You will learn about average life spans, behaviors and temperaments, and how to handle every potential pet-related issue that might arise with your child.
