Many people, when arriving at old age, opt for buying a
pet. However, this decision has its pros and cons.
On one hand, one of the main advantages is that some
animals such as dogs or cats can provide the company that people reaching this
age desire. Furthermore, can avoid feeling bored because having a pet implies
accomplishing a number of obligations as feeding the pet or taking it for a
walk.
On the other hand, maintaining a pet is not as easy as it
seems. Firstly, old people sometimes have trouble moving, so having to take the
pet for a walk might be a difficult task to carry on with. Secondly,
maintaining it and taking it to the vet for shots and, in case of illness, operating
it is not cheap so not everybody can afford it.
All in all, I would say that although owning a pet has some
disadvantages, is really positive for elderly people. Nevertheless, for the
sake of the pet, they ought to ask themselves whether they are going to be able
to accomplish with all the obligations before getting it.
