What are the best pets for teenagers?

I'm 15 and I'd really like to get a pet for my birthday. I want one that needs attention and human-interaction but can be alright alone when I'm at school during the day. I'm open to pretty much all types of pets except reptiles or cats, as my dad is allergic to cats. Any suggestions?What are the best pets for teenagers?You should get a ferret, they're fun and sleep a lot so school wouldn't be a problem.. Or you could go with a dog, they're smart and will love you forever!



Get your dad to take you to the animal shelter, you can pick out a pet together and save a life! :)What are the best pets for teenagers?
I suggest a rodent. Rabbits or guinea pigs are my preference, but any one will be fine. They need interaction but they do not mind being alone sometimes. They do well with at least 1 more of their own species, so it would be best getting at least 2. Don't put different types of rodents together, because they have such different needs that that is dangerous. It is a responsibility in all its ways too. I hope you find the right pet for you.What are the best pets for teenagers?A dog or a hamster. If your getting a dog make sure that your parents are willing to take on the responsibilities of owning a dog, if it is a hamster make sure you get it a big cage so when your not playing with it, it still has a large area to roam.



And please don't listen to anyone who says a ferret or hedgehog. I love ferrets and hedgehog but they are huuuge responsibilities. Both cost lots of money (especially ferrets) and no 15 year old is going to be able to afford 100 dollar vet trips or have a min of 500$ saved up in emergency vet money and a ferret needs at least 4 hours of out of cage play time every day so it wouldnt be good if your away from home lots.



i'd definately go with a dog i think though, much more interactive and would probably be suitable for your whole family. Good luck and happy early birthday!What are the best pets for teenagers?
There are lots of different pets that can be good fits.. but your environment will dictate what you can get. Fish have low interaction, but obviously have no problem with you being gone during the day. A dog may/may not be ok with long periods of alone time.. and you have to consider the amount of time you have to devote to the animal after school.. and the space constraints you have in your home/yard.



That being said, keep in mind you are 15.. which probably means you will be out of the house in about 3 years. A dog lives for more than 10 years in most cases... are your parents going to be up for keeping it while you are away at college? For this reason, this decision needs to be a family one. You need to find out what your parents are willing to take on. Vet bills and food all add up and can be a burden if finances are tight. Don't make a rash decision and regret it later..or make the pet regret it when you dump it at the pound where it will most likely be put to sleep.What are the best pets for teenagers?i suggest rats.they are friendly,loving,cute,and really smart.u can teach them to use the litter box,fetch,and learning their names.thyre like tiny dogs except cheaper.theyre just misunderstood creatures.you do need to get two though if your going to be gone alot because itll become lonley and depressed if it doesnt have a buddyI LOVE RATS !!!!!!!!! ,hope this helps!:)


see thats stupid they read the word rat and automaticlly put thumbs down!
My dad got me a teacup yorkie she's to cute ! : )
. their small and very playful but very expensive their other dogs like a poodles their cute too it depends on which type of breed it is.What are the best pets for teenagers?
Get a Rabbit they are cute tame and loveable! They're cheap and cuddly and they can look after themselves when they want to!
Maybe you should buy a fish or hermit crab. But if ur interested in reptiles you should get a leopard gecko or maybe a garden snake if ur interested in snakes?! Does that help?? ( well I hope so :) ..)What are the best pets for teenagers?
None or stuffed. Teens are irresponsible and grow tired of things fast. So I would never buy or get any tee a live animal.

But this is my own opinion and I am entitled to it.
A bunny :)



They need at least an hour out of their cage and are very lovable and sweet. Just make sure you bunny proof your home!! :)
gerbils are awesome make sure to bye in pairs they do get lonely and they love to play good luck have fun :)
A rabbit

Edit: Make sure you get more than one but less than four.
