You have been considering all the pet options out there since you feel that the time is right to bring a new addition into your home. You’ve noticed that many people bring an older pet into their lives. Why is this?

Adopting an older pet means giving a home to an animal that may otherwise not be offered one. Bringing home a youngster is still the most popular option when choosing a pet, so it can be difficult for an older animal to find a forever home. It can also be a wonderful opportunity for the pet owner as well, since they get to bypass the rambunctious younger stage where these furry friends tend to get into the most trouble. This can suit them well, since they are able to bring home a pet that is likely a bit more independent and secure in who he is.  For more information, please contact your local Jacksonville, FL veterinarian.
