I read your previous letter about your considering buying a pet and I'm writing to tell you the advantages and disadvantages of having a pet - since I own one, I know both of them first hand.
To begin with, I believe that pets are a very good company for the reason that you never feel lonely. There are many activities that you may do together; for instance, you may go for a walk at the park or at the beach. In addition, you could play games together such as hide-and-seek or tag. A pet is ideal for only children as well as children who lack playmates. Moreover, a pet can develop a sense of responsibility in young people, because through this situation children and teens learn to be more mature and responsible, the reason being that they must look after their pets - clean them, feed them, take them to the vet for vaccination, and spend quality time together.
On the other hand, a pet may cause problems. More specifically, they may make noise all the time (for example, dogs may bark and annoy the neighbours) or do damage to the furniture. Cats may scratch the sofas and curtains. It goes without saying that owning a pet is also expensive because of the food you have to buy them regularly along with some bathing products, the visits to the vet, and of course some toys!
To conclude, I think that owing a pet isn't a very easy task because you'll have more responsibilities, but then again it's definitely worth the trouble as pets are the best companions.
