A pet is an animal kept for companionship and enjoyment or a household animal, as opposed to livestock, laboratory animals, working animals or sport animals, which are kept for economic reasons. The most popular pets are noted for their loyal or playful characteristics, for their attractive appearance, or for their song. Pets also generally seem to provide their owners with non-trivial health benefits; keeping pets has been shown to help relieve stress to those who like having animals around. There is now a medically-approved class of "therapy animals," mostly dogs, who are brought to visit confined humans. Walking a dog can provide both the owner and the dog with exercise, fresh air, and social interaction.

Local restrictions

Many cities and towns have local ordinances limiting the number of pets a person may have, and may also restrict or forbid certain pets (such as fowl or exotics). Certain breeds of dog, such as pit bulls and rottweilers, are banned in some places. Dog/other canid/wolf mixes are also banned in some places.

The cities of Berkeley, California and Boulder, Colorado have passed laws stating that people who have pets do not "own" them; rather, they are the pet's "guardian."

Condominium associations and rental properties often ban animals because of the smells and noise the animals create.

What happens when your flying a pet interstate and it has a stopover? Where do they keep the pets?
Q. I have a puppy from Adelaide being flown up to the pilbara today. He has a stopover in Perth for 30-35 minutes. What will happen to him there? Do they store the pets in air-conditioning, are they fed? Looked over to make sure they are ok? Are they given water?

A. For a 35 minute stopover he would stay in the freight hanger If he missed his connection then the airline would be required (we hope!) to send him to a kennel

What are the effects of Spaying your pets?
Q. I understand WHY you should spay or neuter your pets, but what emotional changes does it bring if any? We made the decision to get my 9 month old kitten spayed because she is having all sorts of problems when she's in heat (it lasts for days, is frequent, etc.) -- Originally I didn't want to, but I figured I have to do it at this point. Does it change their personality? Will it mellow her out or make her more agressive?
Asked by LAYLA - Tue Apr 8 02:13:02 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I don't think it changes their personalities at all,except to make them more relaxed,as they are not going into heat all the time.I just had a 6 month old kitten,and a 9 month old kitten spayed,and a 6 month old male neutered ( they were all abandoned by my neighbors,they are moving ,thank God!) This was on Thursday,and they act just the same as they did before,as have all of the cats I have ever had. It certainly makes males much more mellow,though.Congrats on getting her fixed!
