Dogs Make the Best Pets — Martina Brajanovska

Dogs are indeed a man’s (and woman’s) best friend. They are the best pets to own. Not only are they friendly, fun, and kind, but they are also loyal to their owner. At the end of a long day at school or at work, your dog is right at home waiting to greet you with joy. Whenever you feel lonely, your dog will be there to keep you company. And although it may seem silly, dogs help keep your bed warm at night and will watch TV without hogging the remote. 

Another plus to owning a dog is that it will get you moving and motivated. Dogs are naturally active creatures that will motivate you to get up off the couch without judgment. It has also been proven that dogs find joy in small things such as playing with a stick. This amount of joy that your furry companion feels will undeniably rub off on you. 

A dog can also be a source of entertainment. Again, dogs are naturally active creatures that love to play and move around. Whenever you feel bored, your dog will be there with something fun to do. Having a dog around may also reduce levels of stress. Their naturally happy demeanor will no doubt put you in a better mood to work. Dogs make small things enjoyable. They will be there to give you love and affection exactly when it is needed. Dogs make life at home better.

Cats Make The Best Pets — Preslee Adams

Animals are undoubtedly the foundation to all of the best functioning families, but cats are by far the best pet of all. Though many would argue that dogs show immense loyalty and have more playful traits, cats have just as similar of traits as dog lovers prefer, and possibly even more.

To begin, cats are extremely low maintenance and completely self-sufficient. Besides the minimal caretaking tasks that come with cats such as changing their litter and giving them food, maintaining their basic needs is not a huge hassle. Contrary to dogs, there is no having to clean the yard or remembering to let the dog out every few hours because cats take care of themselves!

Furthermore, cats are typically the quietest pets. There is no having to deal with barking at every stranger that walks by because cat meows are much more bearable and quiet.

Finally, cats make better companions than any other animal. Cats desire companionship from their owners, but without the constant neediness of their dog counterparts. Cats are content as long as they can be near you.

Despite the long-debated topic, I can say with complete confidence that cats are by far the best home companions. Their self-sufficiency and constant love are just small factors in making them the best pets ever.

Which is the better pet? Cats vs dogs — Amelie Ryu

Are cats or dogs the better pet? The answer is obvious. It is definitely dogs. Dogs can just make you feel less alone, and they actually play with you. Cats only have a certain amount of affection to a point, but after that, they get bored very quickly. On the other hand, dogs are like your best companion and will still hang out with you and bring you happiness until the end.  Another plus of having dogs is that dogs do not need litter boxes. I know, obvious, right? But I mean, who wants to have a big cat litter box in their homes? 

For me, another major thing is that dogs WILL protect you and actually care about you. Just look at a cat’s instinct; if danger arises, cats will most likely run away and hide for their sake. Dogs, though, will stand their ground and try to protect you by all means. In the end, dogs are better than cats in many ways, even for your health!
