Why you should adopt an older pet

by | Jul 3, 2019 | Latest Monthly Newsletters, Pet Care

If you’ve been thinking about getting a new pet, have you considered adopting an older animal? There are plenty of positives when it comes to giving an older pet a home and a great companion is just one of them!

Here are three good reasons why an older pet can be a good choice:

  1. You know what you are getting when it comes to size and temperament plus they are also generally more mellow, relaxed and independent.
  2. Senior pets are mostly toilet-trained which means you can relax a bit when it comes to potty-training and the state of your carpet!
  3. You are giving a pet a second chance at finding a forever home. You might be surprised at how these pets seem to know how lucky they are, and turn out to be fantastic pets and life-long companions.
