A companion animal or a pet is an animal that is primarily bred to live as a companion to a person as well as to entertain and protect them rather than to serve as a working animal, laboratory animal, or livestock. Two of the most popular companion animals are dogs and cats. Companion animals play an important part in the lives of many people. They provide companionship and a sense of responsibility, demand care and attention, and respond with affection. Although somewhat controversial, a number of studies have shown that owning companion animals is associated with positive health benefits. Pets, especially dogs and cats, are always considered as companion animals and there has been an improvement in the way people treat their pets over the past decade. Around 70% of the pet owners said they would risk their lives for them. Apart from the growing interest to have a pet in the family, most families now consider pets as another family member.
