I'm only doing the more popular pets, I know there are MANY other pet species not listed, sorry, GAG only allows for so many options.

I’m personally an animal person. I’ve had dogs, cats, rodents and the occasional amphibian growing up. I currently have a dog (2 if you count my roommates) I want a cat. And might be getting a bearded dragon because it’s current owner doesn’t know the proper husbandry. And from there I’ll be raising insects to cover its diet providing he’s still a juvenile and not an adult.

Dogs are great, cats are better if you don't have a lot of time. Birds are ok, I've only have pigeons and chickens so I dont know too much. Never had a fish, rodents, or insects. Rats would be a interesting pet to have. The fancy/tamed ones, the regular wild ones are too disgusting.

It really depends on your lifestyle. With children? Dogs, cats, sometimes rabbits. In Japan? Insects, specifically cicada. Less maintenance? Maybe fish or birds. Companionship? Probably dogs or cats. In a remote or secluded place? Maybe some of the exotic animals, like lizards, snakes, tarantulas or scorpions

Personally, I've always been more of a dog person, grew up around them my whole life. They've always seemed like very affectionate animals with a lot of love to give. Plus there a lot more active so it makes them fun to play with too.

I’ve had dogs and cats. And fish. My dad brought home a turtle once when I was a kid. He had to return him back into the wild, coz we dk how to take care of him. I had a bird too. But my best one ☝️ was my cat Roger. I adopted him and he was soooo cute. Rip 🪦 Roger 💕

Depends on your lifestyle and needs. If you have the time and space, dogs are literally wired to be in tune with human emotions and form attachment.

If you need something more quiet and low key, fish would work along with reptiles

Rodents and rabbits are good starter pets and not as much commitment as a dog or cat since they live short lives

Cats are apartment pets where dogs aren't allowed. But you have to be OK with a pet going through teenage moodiness for a cat lol

LazerBean · Answer

Rabbis are not rodents. I have them and like them a lot, but a dog or cat is definitely the best choice for most people.

dustybiker · Answer

The match is more with the individual person to pet, no? Not necessarily the pet itself.

exitseven · Answer

I had a dog when I was a kid and he was awesome. Today you can't just let the dog roam the neighborhood. You have to keep him in your house or yard and take him for walks and pick up the poop. I think cats are a better choice today

ShadezMcgee · Answer

I have had all of these types listed as pets at one point in my life. To this day, dog will be number one.

Th3ft · Answer

I mean it totally depends on the person and what they are capable of in a moment but dogs in general are the best pets..

AviatorTom · Answer

The easiest pet to care for is a Pet Rock... never have to feed it, take it for walks, or pick up its poop.

AddylynnNightingale · Answer

If by best you mean what doesn't take much effort, get fish. If actual companionship pick a dog or a cat.

Wise4myage · Answer

Cats get my vote, because they are so easy to take care of.

Don't keep pets.  It's not that good for them.

kataang · Answer

Rabbits, they’re so cute and quiet. They’re really nice.

sirderpsalot123 · Answer

It depends on the person. I prefer reptiles, but a snake wouldn't be the best pet for someone who is afraid of snakes.

AndrésC64 · Answer

People who said cats over dogs are out of their minds. Nothing is as loyal and affectionate as dogs.

Twalli · Answer

Dogs are the most intelligent and loyal. Unlike other animals, dogs aren't loners. Dogs are pack animals so they do well with families.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

Cats. You can just let them outside and they'll fend for themselves

Paul09 · Answer

Dogs all the way! Cats are ok. But cat people are usually lazy people. I'd love to see a cat defend them 🤣.

A big dog will run into a burning house to pull you out.

HippieVeganJewslim · Answer

Cats. Actually, I prefer rabbits, but that ain’t on the list.

Jltakk · Answer

Cats definitely, though I only had a dog. I always had fun and got along with cats but my allergies prevent me from owning one.
