which is better for kids?

I think hamster or guinea pig would be best, although they could be hard to take care of since they are delicate. But they are small and they rarely bite, and if they do, it's small. A puppy is nice too, so it'll grow with them..

A kitten would be more preferable cos cat has some airy skin which might be dangerous to child's health and well-being. I believe you need to put that into consideration. For a dog, they tends to be on the safer side like having more play time with the kids and neva gets tired of playing except if hungary. That's my opinion though

I would ask your kids which one they want more of. They are old enough to tell you if they like cats or dogs. If you get a dog I would go with something like a lab or golden retriever if you want something that is big but gentile. Now if someone in the house has a pet allergies then a dog would be best because you can find a bunch of dogs that are hypoallergenic. Any animal with hair not fur is hypoallergenic poodles are have hair no fur. They will not shed but you do have to get there hair cut every few months. Dogs do require someone to walk them once a day no matter what size they are and training some dogs need more then others. Now with cats they are good but if you don't like dealing it fur a lot then cats tends to shed a lot. You can get hypoallergenic ones but they are every expensive and hard to find. With cats you do need to change litter box and clean thing but a lot of cats have short tempers around children so you would have to look into a breeds to find the right temper and mind set for you. Also they have to be trained or else they will go where every they want in the house just like a dog will. Personally myself I would go with dog but that is because we have a lot of allergies in my house and my husband is allergic to cats. I'm allergic to both but I've been around both all my life that it just doesn't bother me anymore. Now if you have more kids you can't touch the litter box you'll have to have someone do that for you because of illness that is easily spread to pregnant women through cat poop. Now when you do look into either cat or dog remember the breed doesn't tell you how the dog is going to act with you. You'll have go and seeing and spend a few minutes with them to see if that dog or cat is really right for you. Each animal has there own wind and will not act to what the breed description says they will.

I can Let you know Now that A Golden Retriever Is Named Aas The friendlest Dog On PLANET Earth. Look it up there has never been any sign or conplaint of a golden retriever biting or harming any kid or adult.. Watch the Movie ''Air Bud'' And the dog In That Movie is A golden retriever They are very playful and gget along with anybody and any animal.. Do not use a Golden retriever as a attack dog or a guard dog because no matter how much you train it it wil never learn how to be a vicious dog..

Dogs are generally better for young children, because dogs are more interactive than cats. The children will probably have more fun with a dog than they would a cat. Don't get me wrong, there are great cats in the world, but typically they are more aloof than dogs and are less forgiving of those who pull tails, mishandle, drop, etc., as kids have been known to do. Dog breeds to avoid would include, dalmations, St. Bernards, and Chow Chows. Dog breeds that are said to be good with kids include, Greater Swiss Mountain dogs, Bernese, and Poodles. Of course it depends on the dog too. One of the nicest dogs I ever knew was a Rottweiler, which are, by breeding, watch dogs.
