Shall i buy a miniature dog(a puppy which remains a puppy and never grows) or a hamster?please help?
If you go for the Hamster, it is important to note they only live 2-3 years, require food, water, chew toys, bedding, a wheel, a ball to run in, tubes and other toys, and an adequately sized cage. Hamsters can get tumors and cancers just like humans, and need the chew toys because their teeth continue to grow throughout their life and can become overgrown. Once overgrown, you would have to take them to a vet to get them trimmed/shaved down. If you go for a small breed dog, it is important to realize they can live about 15 years, require annual vet care for vaccinations, you will need to renew their dog license for a fee more than once in it’s lifetime, will need to be trained in at least a few simple commands (such as sit, come, stay, heel), food, water, a collar, leash for walks, possibly a crate, various toys, regular at home grooming, professional grooming for certain breeds, and a bed or blanket for it to sleep on. The dog would be much more of a commitment, time and cost wise. To
