Pets

Pets are domesticated animals kept for companionship, entertainment, or pleasure rather than for work, agricultural purposes, or in medical or research environments. Common types of pets include dogs, cats, birds, fish, and small mammals like rabbits and guinea pigs. The bond between pets and their owners can enhance the quality of life for both, offering emotional support, reducing stress, and providing physical activity through play and care routines. Pets typically rely on humans for their needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare. The practice of keeping pets is widespread across various cultures, with people often forming deep emotional connections to their animals.
