Giving a pet as a present for Christmas?

So you’re thinking of giving a pet as a present for Christmas? ...... OK ..... but think just for a minute .........

A new pet coming home needs space to become accustomed to their new family - they often need a quite time to wander around and explore their new environment. Young animals may still need to sleep for some of the day and even the best trained house pet may ‘forget’ themselves or have an ‘accident’ as they try to find their way outside.

And then imagine what Christmas time can be like ........

Christmas Day and the few days following can be very hectic, busy and noisy with family and friends visiting, children playing with their new toys and general fun and laughter - that’s what holiday time should be about.
Thinking again?

Tomorrow we’ll have a look at some other options you might consider that are more ‘pet-friendly’.
