The adorable kitten or puppy with the giant bow and a child’s delight make for a great photo op...
But giving a pet as a present at this time of year is actually a bad idea for a couple of reasons. Adam Goldfarb, of the Humane Society, says when you bring a new pet into a household, you want to make sure it has an easy time adapting. With the hustle and bustle, decorations travel and visitors the season brings, it’s the hardest time for a pet to adapt.
By introducing a new pet into the home, you’re adding a family member to the household. It’s important not to send the wrong message to children by giving them the impression that fuzzy gift is a commodity or a toy. The addition of a family pet deserves a designated time that everyone can plan, prepare for and enjoy.
