Cats
First of all, cats are great to have in an apartment. They are companions, playful and can spend periods alone without major dramas. But that doesn't mean you can spend hours or days away from home. They also like attention.
They are very hygienic, another good reason to keep them in your apartment. In addition, they only need space for a litter box, a comfortable place to sleep, a food and water bowl.
Chinchilla
The chinchilla is a mixture of a squirrel, a rabbit and a mouse. She is very cute and is one of the apartment pets. They require little space. Also, they are quiet. But beware: they require a location that is not noisy or hectic.
She needs a cage. However, you can take her out of it from time to time to play and make her more comfortable. However, do not leave it unattended for long periods or when you are not around.
Guinea pig
Guinea pigs make great apartment pets. They are very affectionate and fun. Also, compact, so they only need the space for a cage. These animals are perfect for kids!

Among the small breeds we have Yorkshire, Pinscher, Pug, French Bulldog, Poodle, Schnauzer and others.

Adapt the place to the animal
Also, remember to adapt the place for pets to the apartment. For example, if you bet on a hamster or guinea pig, you will need sawdust and a cage. It should have food, a wheel for games, etc.

In the case of cats and dogs, keep the food and the bathroom (sandbox or toilet mat) in different places. If not, they may refuse to eat. In the same way, food can be contaminated and the consequences are numerous.
Make the bathroom accessible
Another important point when we talk about cats and dogs is the location of the bathroom. Whether it's a litter box or a toilet mat, it needs to be in an accessible location. That is, that he can go at any time and that he does not encounter obstacles.
For example, consider the pet's toilet in the apartment's laundry room. In this case, make sure that the access door is always open.
Create a routine for cats and dogs
Finally, if the pets you want are cats or dogs, create routines. For dogs, for example, the routine involves eating, playing and walking. The same thing happens with cats. They love routine, so let them have one!
With these tips you will be able to raise your pets in an apartment without any problem. So, be sure to follow them. Likewise, do not postpone your dream of having a pet that will certainly be a reason for joy.
