I wish people would stop buying pets without doing research first. Every year, many people buy a pet they cannot afford, and then abandon it. It is awful. I found this infographic that covers what costs are associated with cats and dogs. I know this is Christmas themed, but I still feel like this is prevalent all year round. Getting a dog as a pet is at least a 10-year promise and about an $8,000 investment, if not more. Getting a cat is at least a 20-year promise and about an $9,500 investment, if not more. Pets are living breathing creatures. They cost money and need a lot of attention and care. It might sound harsh, but if you cannot afford a pet, you shouldn’t get one. My husky is a rescue and I love him very much! It hurts me to know that someone just abandoned him as a pup.
It’s entirely possible to get a pet and be a good owner. I just think more people should do research and think about the decision first.

TL;DR Pets are expensive. Please do research before buying one.
