Hey there, future pawrents! Do you want a furry companion but you’re not sure which one will best suit your specific lifestyle? Don’t worry; MyFriend is here to help you figure it out! Whether you’re a couch potato or a busy bee, there’s a pet out there for everyone. Let’s start this pet-tacular journey of figuring out which pet best fits your way of life!
Always keep in mind that choosing a pet is a long-term commitment. Cats live on an average of 12 – 18 years, and on the other hand, dogs live from 10 to 13 years! A lot can happen in 10 years, and as we know it, life can be unpredictable. There’s no way to really know, but you can start by asking yourself these questions to make sure you’re ready for that commitment ❗️
💬 How much time and care will my new pet need?
💬 How long can the pet be left on its own without experiencing difficulty or separation anxiety?
💬 What is their average lifespan?
💬 Will the pet match my lifestyle and energy levels?
💬 Do I realistically have the financial capability to take care of a pet?
💬 Am I ready for unpredictable costs if an emergency happens?
💬 What kind of food will my new pet eat? Will I be able to afford it if they need a special diet?
💬 If circumstances change and I might need to travel or move countries, am I well equipped to continue with the necessary process and paperwork needed for my furry friend to come with me?
💬 Am I ready to adapt my schedule or make modifications in my home?
💬 Am I ready to commit over a lengthy period of time which could be months or most likely, years—to a pet’s life?
💬 Are there activities or exercises both the pet and I need and enjoy?
💬 Am I ready to bring my new pet to visit the vet regularly for routine checkups and vaccinations?
💬 Does the pet require routine brushing or professional grooming, or does it just need some general coat care?
💬 Will I have the emotional capacity to handle whatever happens?
💬 Does the pet have any particular environmental needs, such as those related to temperature, humidity, or lighting?
To ensure a successful and enjoyable pawrents experience, take the time to carefully research and analyze these questions for yourself, as well as any others that may come to mind. It’s important you ask yourselves these questions before you become responsible for another life, after all, you’re all they’ve got!
After the long list of questions you’ve asked yourself, you probably know what you’re capable of caring for. Whether that would be about your schedule, financial capabilities, or general personality! If you’re looking for some inspiration, here are some ideas for pets for different lifestyles!
A low-maintenance animal like a fish or a small reptile can be the ideal choice if your schedule is jam-packed with full-time or part-time jobs, traveling, social commitments, or just a busy lifestyle. These adorable critters need little care, but they nevertheless add a little peace, personality, and beauty to your life!

Properly socialized small dogs are the ideal companions for your social outings because of their charming personalities that tend to be more outgoing and welcoming.

These independent yet loving fluff balls are masters of relaxing and extremely skilled at cuddling up. There are many misconceptions about them being cold and unloving, but cats are actually very affectionate with their favorite human! They’ll gladly keep you company when you watch endless movies or take afternoon naps. Be prepared for lots of love, head boops, and purrs.
A playful and active dog might be the perfect furry friend if you enjoy exploring new places and have plenty of energy. Dogs will keep you on your toes with their energetic retrieve games and brisk park walks. They’ll be your outdoor activity buddy and be overjoyed to go on all your wild antics with you. Prepare to make lifelong experiences with a furry travel companion!

The energetic little buddies that fit in your pocket are charming and they absolutely love playtime! You’ll enjoy watching them for hours as you giggle at them going on about their mischief with their little paws. You may have a ton of fun in your own house by setting up a playground or by watching them explore in their exercise wheel!
Do you have an eye for gardening and a deep passion for all things botanical? Think about bringing a pet guinea pig or rabbit into your life. While you take care of your leafy buddies, these cute herbivores will eat some greens.
