Do you have a pet at home? If not and you want one you better read this article because it will help you pick the best one. If you have one and you want another one you can also read this to help pick.



5: Number five on the list is Turtles. Turtles are quiet and relatively undemanding in nature, which makes them an appealing option as a pet. They aren't particularly interactive or fuzzy creatures, they can carry diseases, and with their famously long lifespans, they may even outlive you. Turtles are at five because they are good pets but they just aren't that interesting so that's why they are at five.



4: Number four on the list is Cats. Cats are Low Maintenance. Cats are small, they don't require much space, they don't need to go for walks or go outside, and they clean themselves which makes cats pretty easy to take care of. Lincoln Martone says that “Cats are the best because they are playful and fun.”  The reason that cats are at four is because they always knock stuff over and they scratch up everything.



3: Number three on the list is Birds. Birds make great pets and owning a bird can be a really fun experience. They are sociable, intelligent, and can form bonds with their family. Callie Byers says that Birds are the best pet “Because They can talk.” They are relatively easy and inexpensive to care for and train. The reason that birds are at number 3 is because they can get out and fly around your house.



 2: At number two we have hamsters. Hamsters are easy to Care For They don't require excessive training like a dog would; just a regular amount of care and attention. Along with a nice cage to live in and plenty of suitable toys. Hamsters make for the perfect pet. The reason that they are at number 2 is because they are pretty fun and cute but they don't live for that long so it's hard to have a pet after that



1: At number one we have Dogs. Dogs can be there for you even when people can't. They offer unconditional love, emotional support, and constant cuddles that help stave off social isolation. A small Australian study discovered that dog ownership can reduce loneliness and anxiety. Jackson Warren Says that Dogs are the best pet “Because they are playful.” They are called Man’s best friend for a reason that's why they are number one.
