How to choose the right pet for your family

Choosing a pet is a big, exciting decision. The best pet for your family depends on your space, how much time you have each day, your budget, whether anyone has allergies, and how long a commitment you want to make. A fish or hamster makes a wonderful low-cost starter pet, a dog or cat is a loving long-term companion, and reptiles, birds, and small animals each bring their own kind of fun.

Our free pet quiz matches your family to a pet in about a minute, and the Pet Finder lets you adjust space, time, budget, and allergies to compare all 43 animals. When you're ready, adopt from a local shelter or rescue near you.
