So now that you have chosen your pet, one thing to keep in mind is what to do about its bathroom habits.  Do you train your dog to let you know it needs to go outside when it has to go, or will it be paper trained?  If it is a cat, where will you keep the litter box?  If it is a dog that you paper train, where will the paper be.

After you have established a home for your pet by determining where it will sleep, where it will go to the bathroom, and what kind of foods it will eat, the next thing to keep in mind is grooming.  Grooming is not only important to your pet's appearance, but can affect your home's appearance as well.  When the weather changes from winter to spring, most animals shed their winter coats, which if your pet is indoors means that there will be hair all over the place.
