You might have heard that dogs have been man’s best friend for thousands of years, but the truth is we’ve been living with animals since long before that.
Dogs are the most popular pet in the world and they come in all shapes, sizes and colours. But they’re not the only animals humans have lived with over the years. Here are some of our favourite pets from history:
1. Cats
There are no records of where cats first appeared, but there’s evidence that they were domesticated as early as 9,000 years ago in Egypt and China. They were used to protect grain stores from rodents, and it became quite common for people to keep cats as pets. The oldest known remains of a cat were found at the Neolithic village Shillourokambos on Cyprus, dating back 9500 years ago!
2. Llamas
Llamas originated in South America around 4 million years ago (much earlier than any other large mammal). They were tamed by humans around 3000 BC to transport goods over difficult terrain. However, llamas have been kept as pets since around 2000 BC when they were used as sacrificial animals in religious ceremonies by the Incas and other Pre-Columbian cultures.
3. Horse
Horses are one of the oldest domesticated animals on earth (about 5500 BC). They can be used for work or transportation, but they’re also great pets! In fact, many people keep horses as companions because they’re so smart, friendly and loyal — just like dogs!
4. Dog
The dog is man’s best friend. They have been around for more than 30,000 years and were domesticated about 15,000 years ago. Dogs can do everything from helping people with disabilities to sniffing out bombs and drugs.
5. Hamsters
Hamsters have been around since the time of ancient Egypt and are still very popular pets today. They have become popular because they are inexpensive, easy to care for and easy to breed in captivity (which means you don’t have to worry about having them make their own homes). They can live up to three years when properly cared for!
There are a lot of great pets out there
There are a lot of great pets out there you might like an exotic pet like a monkey or a common pet like a chinchilla.
If you are thinking about getting a new pet, you need to start by deciding what kind of pet you want. There are many different types of pets that you can choose from. Some people prefer dogs, while others prefer cats. Others may want to get an exotic animal such as a lizard or snake.
You should also consider how much time you have for taking care of your pet. If you work all day, then it might not be practical for you to get a cat or dog because these animals need attention every day. However, if you have a lot of free time on your hands and enjoy spending time with animals, then these types of pets may be good for you
The next step is choosing which animal is right for your family and lifestyle. For example, if you have small children in the house, then it may not be safe to get an exotic animal such as a lizard or snake because they cannot be trained and may bite someone accidentally
There are many different types of animals out there so it is important that you do some research before making any decisions.
Finding the right pet for you
Pet ownership is a big commitment, so it’s important to choose the right pet for you. Whether you’re looking for a cat or a dog, there are many factors to consider.
You should consider how much time you will have for your new pet and what level of exercise they need. You should also think about your lifestyle and whether or not you want to own another living thing.
Every pet is different, and each one has different needs. Here are some tips to help you find the right pet for your household:
Consider Your Lifestyle: If you’re someone who works all day, it might not be wise to get a dog that requires a lot of walks and attention because you may not have enough time for it. If you work long hours at a desk job, then maybe getting an indoor cat would be better suited for your lifestyle. If you have kids in the house, then getting an older dog might not be such a good idea because they may accidentally get too rough with the puppy and injure it while playing.
Think About Your Budget: Pets come with all sorts of costs associated with them — food, vet bills, etc. Make sure that if something unexpected happens (like needing emergency surgery), there is enough cash in your bank account! And if you have a particularly anxious pet you will need to factor in the cost of CBD or dogs.
If you are thinking about getting a pet, you may want to consider adopting from a shelter or rescue group. There are many great reasons to adopt a pet from a shelter or rescue group.
You will be saving a life. Every year, millions of cats and dogs are euthanized because there isn’t enough room for them in shelters. By adopting a pet from a shelter, you are helping to save the life of an animal who might otherwise be put down.
You will be saving money. Many people choose not to adopt because they think they can’t afford it. But the adoption fee is often much lower than what it would cost to buy the same animal at a pet store or breeder — and that doesn’t even take into account the costs of food, veterinary care, toys and other supplies that may be required over the course of your pet’s lifetime!
You’ll get expert advice on how to care for your new companion. Shelters and rescues provide information about proper nutrition and training tips for your new pet so you can ensure that he or she is healthy and happy from day one!
