Companion Pet Guide

Did you ever go to the pet store and see the never ending enclosures of birds, snakes, lizards, frogs, hamsters, rabbits and ferrets, and wonder which pet would best fit into your family? Are you interested in adopting a cat or dog and are wondering which one would fit your lifestyle? I have compiled a list of almost 300 of the most popular pets in an easy to read table format with pictures of the animals for quick identification. This book also includes individual dog and cat breeds to help you determine which breed is right for your family. This is just a small sample of the questions this workbook will answer: How big of an enclosure will my pet require? How messy is a Lorikeet and do they talk? Which is a good snake for the beginning hobbyist? What are some of the behavior issues of a ferret? Can a rabbit be litter trained and which ones require grooming? Does my frog need a basking light and how much water should be in the tank? Does a hedgehog sleep at night or during the day? Which dog or cat is right for my family.
