Pros and Cons of having a pet animal at home with your toddler

My family had a pet at home ever since we were old enough to ask for one. Personally, I am a dog person and always have been. I grew up with dogs and not being greeted by a wagging tail and eyes full of love when I get home just feels strange. A recent study showed that there are more pets than children in American households and there is a sharp rise in number of Indian families opting for pets. There are so many benefits of raising a pet. For many pet owners their pet is their first child. If you are expecting a baby or planning to have a baby, one of your major concerns is bound to be about how your pet will react to the new member getting added to the family.
