Pets can give companionship to people who are living alone or elderly adults who do not have adequate social interaction with other people. Walking a dog can provide both the human and the dog with exercise, fresh air and social interaction. Pets provide their owners (or "guardians") both physical and emotional benefits.
Small pets may be grouped together as pocket pets, while the equine and bovine group include the largest companion animals. Other animals commonly kept include: rabbits ferrets pigs rodents, such as gerbils, hamsters, chinchillas, rats, mice, and guinea pigs avian pets, such as parrots, passerines and fowls reptile pets, such as turtles, alligators, crocodiles, lizards, and snakes aquatic pets, such as fish, freshwater and saltwater snails, amphibians like frogs and salamanders and arthropod pets, such as tarantulas and hermit crabs. Two of the most popular pets are dogs and cats the technical term for a cat lover is an ailurophile and a dog lover a cynophile. Popular pets are often considered to have attractive appearances, intelligence and relatable personalities, but some pets may be taken in on an altruistic basis (such as a stray animal) and accepted by the owner regardless of these characteristics.
A pet, or companion animal, is an animal kept primarily for a person's company or entertainment rather than as a working animal, livestock or a laboratory animal.
