Nowadays, not everyone can afford a house with a big garden and most folk, especially in the city, would have to be content with staying in a small condominium, apartment or flat. This living arrangement makes it difficult for these people to have pets.

Some building regulations do not allow pets at all. If this is the case, the most you can have is a small fish bowl with one or two gold fishes or smaller animals like a hamster. If your apartment does allow pets, you can opt for a dog or cat.

Most apartments don’t allow large pets because of the noise they make, disturbance to the neighbors or due to the exclusiveness of the place you’re staying in, like in a serviced apartment or condo.

If you do intend to keep your beloved pets in an apartment, do ensure that:

• You’ve read the building rules and regulations regarding pets. You do not want to be fined for illegally bringing pets into the building.
• Your pet is not too large or noisy that it disrupts your neighbors.
• If you live in a high-rise building, do make sure that the lifts can accommodate your pet, cages and other accessories you bring for your pet.
• It is advisable to keep a maximum of two dogs or cats in your apartment. Keeping 20 cats and 5 dogs in your home might cause the neighbors to complain.
• Make sure that your home has enough area for your pet to live comfortably in.
• Always clean your pet area each day to ensure there are no nasty odors in your apartment and beyond.

Well, even if you can’t keep a dog or cat in your new home, you can always get a gold fish.
