When choosing a dog, you should also think about what gender you want to get. Here, everything depends primarily on your personal preferences.

Some dog owners believe that females (bitches) are easier to train and, moreover, more affectionate than males (dogs), while others claim that "girls", on the contrary, are more reserved and independent. As a rule, dogs are considered more capricious, but if they behave too assertively and self-confidently, castration will certainly make them more compliant (although, of course, a lot depends on the age at which the operation is performed, and on the character and temperament of the dog itself) .

Therefore, there is no simple and unequivocal answer here: in any case, you need to understand that the behavior of the pet will depend primarily on its individual temperament, as well as on the amount of time spent on its training.

Unsterilized dogs of both sexes can sometimes cause significant problems for their owners. Dogs can run away in search of representatives of the opposite sex, and bitches, in turn, can be extremely naughty during heat periods and, in addition, sometimes suffer from the so-called imaginary pregnancy. If you are going to have puppies in the future, all these troubles can be overcome. But an unplanned pregnancy can turn into a whole series of problems for you and your dog - for example, such as difficulties in childbirth and the subsequent need to place the puppies somewhere. Also, don't forget that the cost of neutering a female is usually more expensive than a male, especially if your pet is already pregnant.

Sometimes when choosing a pet, it is difficult to refuse to buy a kitten, because they are so cute and playful! Moreover, it is much easier to achieve the desired result when raising kittens than when training adult cats. At the same time, kittens require increased attention and close supervision, especially if they are naughty. That is why, when buying a cat, think carefully, are you ready to devote a lot of time and energy to caring for a picky kitten?

If you choose one kitten from several, pay special attention to the fact that your chosen one shows friendliness and in no way shows aggression towards its own brothers and sisters, as well as towards you, especially when touching or sounding your voice On the other hand, a kitten that stays aloof from its group of siblings and doesn't show much joy at your approach is likely to grow up to be withdrawn, shy, and avoid close contact with people. Buying a kitten that constantly bites and scratches your hands will lead to the fact that in adulthood he will behave even more unceremoniously.

When choosing a kitten, pay attention to its appearance. The eyes should be clear and shining, the ears should be clean, the claws should look smooth and even, and the coat should be shiny and thick (depending on the breed), without any bald spots. If you are buying a kitten from a pet breeder, make sure that your pet's health has already been checked by a veterinarian. If such a medical examination has not been carried out, ask whether it is possible to check the health of the kitten you have chosen in advance, before making the final decision to buy.

If you already have at least one cat at home, remember that your other pets will accept the arrival of a kitten more gently and calmly than the arrival of another adult cat. If you do not have pets yet, but in the future you plan to have several cats at once, then the best option would be to buy several kittens of the same age at once, because then they will grow up together, side by side, and will quickly find a common language! For more information on how to help a new cat make friends and find a common language with other pets, read our special guide on this topic.

Adult cats can also be very playful, but keep in mind that sometimes they can carry a heavy burden of emotional experiences, accumulated even before you, during the previous period of life, including in childhood. Thus, the character and behavior of adult cats are already completely formed by previously experienced emotions and impressions. Therefore, ask about the past of your pet, its former owners. This will allow you to understand what can be expected from the cat in the future, or how to help him adapt to a new home. In particular, you can find out the nutritional and hygienic preferences of your pet, as well as the peculiarities of its character.

It should be noted that adult cats are less likely to have problems such as urinary incontinence or unreasonable aggression, primarily towards other animals. At the same time, elderly pets, as a rule, become loyal friends of their owners. True, most often the reason is that in old age cats have much less strength and energy than kittens, which means that they will rather prefer a peaceful sleep on your lap.

First of all, it is important to understand that both cats and cats are gentle and sensitive pets, and in fact, if they are sterilized, there are very few behavioral differences between them.

Some owners believe that cats are gentler, and cats show more independence. However, it can be quite the opposite: the cat will be the most gentle pet, and the cat will be self-sufficient and independent. The following useful tips will help you when buying a pet and choosing its sex.

As a rule, cats are slightly larger than cats.

Cats that have not been sterilized can be very noisy and purr loudly. In addition, it is extremely difficult to keep them at home during the heat period, and they can become pregnant starting from the age of five months. Just imagine - your kitten may soon give birth to your own kittens!

The cost of neutering a cat is usually slightly higher than neutering a cat.
