Igor
Purlantov makes his home in New York
City. He is also a huge animal supporter. Choosing a
pet and developing a successful relationship for both parties will take some
planning and thought. The first thing someone should never do is make an
impulsive decision when it comes to acquiring a pet. Rescue centers and animal
shelters are full of unwanted pets. Igor Purlantov encourages people to be
responsible when it comes to bringing a pet into one's home. The commitment to
bringing a pet home should be serious and it should occur after much thought
and planning.
After
the thoughtful decision has been made to actually get a pet there are just a
few more things to consider according to Igor Purlantov. Most urban
residents live in apartments. Does your apartment building have rules that
govern keeping a pet in the building? Does the adoption of a pet require an
additional security deposit? Gather the answers to these questions and then
continue in the decision making process.
The
next step is to determine the level of maintenance you are willing to take on.
Dogs will typically fall at the high end of this hierarchy and fish on the low
end. There are options in between; cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, and
birds. A note on both birds and dogs: there is a potential for noise with both.
A squawking bird and yapping or barking dog may not make you extremely popular
with your neighbors. An even more severe scenario could involve you being asked
to get rid of the pet or leave the building. Some animals shed more than
others. Having a pet is a lot of work you need to decide how much extra work
you are willing to take on. Don't forget about dog walking, litter box
scooping, and cage or aquarium cleaning. Igor Purlantov recommends making a
careful decision. He does not want to discourage anyone from adopting a pet, he
just wants to make sure the pairing lasts a lifetime.
