Enter a pet at home will surely be a big decision, but must be taken with meditation. The veterinarian may advise you on what type of animal is the most suitable for your case (as a species, race, sex ....). The child must be able to take responsibility for his new friend, so, so, suffer the positive effect of development and, secondly, to not be a burden for the elderly.

This does not mean at all that parents can ignore the animal because, of course, children will need help in many occasions. Also keep in mind that the acquisition of such a dog, condition, in a sense, our lives as a puppy in their games (like children) may ruin some household items.

Bear in mind the space available, the time it can spend. Also have to worry about their food and health care for coat (especially if long hair), and offer tours and provide enough, if you can not accompany them on vacation, we seek a trusted internal host it.

The animal can never be a substitute for family or friends, so important in the psychological development of personality, but will be a good help. Many times, unfortunately, we see that after the first initial excitement, pets are neglected and fall all care in the mother. This behavior has the opposite effect on the emotional and character development in children, because it assumes no responsibility and disregards the value of loving your pet, it should be reciprocal.

Try to take into account all possible recommendations and in this way, when your son says, "Mom, I want a dog!" Can answer "yes."
