Many people believe that having a pet in the home, such as a dog or a cat, during a child’s first years of life is beneficial to that child’s development. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this belief?

Having a

pet

in the

house

is a trend now. Keeping a

pet

in the

house

during a

child

's

first

year is argued to advantageous for a

child

's growth.

However

, I oppose

this

view. In my opinion, having a

pet

can be dangerous and

unhygienic

for

child

's. To start with, Pets can be dangerous for

child

's. As a newly born

child

is an unfamiliar face for the pets, which they do not recognise as a trusted human.

Pet

can think, they are unknown to family, so they can attack newly born baby which results many injuries as well. To illustrate by example, according to a research paper from The Harward university, there are increases in the number of pets attack cases where the dog attacks newly born babies.

Secondly

, Pets are

unhygienic

as well.

Child

's can come into contact with many diseases due to dirty pets. They can touch dogs or cats which can be dangerous for the

child

's health and even sometime unknowingly they touch the

pet

's mouth which bring more problem. To illustrate with an example, I had a dog in my

house

and during my

child

early days my dog licks him once which cause skin problem to my

child

. To conclude, Having a

pet

in the

house

is a new trend in the modern era.

This

brings many disadvantages as well, which include dangerous and

unhygienic

for children and

this

can cause many problems for them.
