The prospect of having a pet companion in a house is exciting at first. However, it’s not just all fun and games- there’s a certain level of responsibility you’ll have to take if you want it happy and healthy. Here’s a short list of pros and cons when deciding whether to buy a pet to keep in your Aurelle of Tampines condo.
Pros of a Pet in a Condo or Apartment
Pets, especially the ones you can interact with, offer a wealth of benefits for your health and well-being. They can act as support companions and stave off feelings of loneliness. In addition, make them happy and you’ll be rewarded with love and faithfulness.
A pet such as a dog or cat can liven up the space in any room. If you choose a pet that works well with children then all the better. There’s a sense of fulfillment to be had taking care of a pet, which is the reason why many of us have them. In a limited space such as an apartment or condo, you should consider the size and exercise needs before you make the decision.
Cons of a Pet in a Condo or Apartment
Owning a pet requires time and a lot of patience. In this regard, you will have to allocate time in order to train your pet so it won’t leave a mess or become unruly when outside. You’re responsible for their health and well-being as well, with regular visits to the vet and buying all the things they need.
Before buying a pet, it’s best to ask the homeowner’s association of your building first and see if they allow it. Then weigh the pros and cons, and make a decision to bring one home.
