Dogs are loyal pets and also keep the home safe , so many people are keeping dogs as pets. A majority of people are keeping pets for entertainment and companionship especially if they are lonely and have no other company .

However the additional advantage of keeping dogs as pets is that they will deter robbers, burglars and other intruders from entering the house, without the permission of the home owner . Most dogs will bark when they detect an intruder into the house, and in some cases the dog will also bite the intruder who may be human or some other animal like a snake.

In large cities, most middle class people live in apartment complexes , and can afford to hire one or more security guards to monitor those entering and leaving the area. However in small towns many people live in row houses and small buildings which cannot afford to hire a watchman, due to lower income. So in these cases, keeping a dog for security can be a far more cost effective option for home owners to ensure that no intruders enter the house at night or when people in the house are away.

While most people in metro cities cannot keep large pets like dogs and cats in their home, due to expensive real estate, smaller home sizes, it appears that keeping pet fish is a popular hobby . Unlike other pets which will roam around the house, the fish will remain in the aquarium or fish bowl, and do not require so much maintenance.
So while a full fledged pet shop, selling dog, cat food, supplies like feeding bowls, toys may be relatively rare in larger cities, there are more fish shops selling different kinds of fish , fish food and other fish related supplies.
The fish prices will vary depending on the fish owner.
In some cases, people are only preferring to keep aquatic plants at home, instead of pet fish which sometimes die rather quickly and have to be fed daily

In large metro cities , there are many restrictions on keeping pets, especially in apartment complexes, as the pets may make the common areas dirty. So relatively few people are keeping pets at home. The houses are also smaller, so there is less space to keep a pet at home.
However in small towns, many people live in independent and larger houses, and do not have any security arrangement, as it is not economical to hire a watchman for a single house, so they will often keep a dog as a pet for security. The dog will be trained to bark at strangers who try to enter the house.
As a result, in large cities, there are relatively few pet shops compared for all types of pets to small towns where almost every locality has a pet shop stocking different kinds of pet foods and other pet supplies.

For those who do not want their pet to roam around the house and require a low maintenance pet, fish are the easiest to keep pets at home. However many fish are to be kept in an aquarium with lighting and an electrical pump which can be expensive. If there is no proper waterproofing during the monsoon, the electricity supply in the house will be disrupted due to short circuit, caused by water leakage. So it is advisable to find low maintenance fish which can be kept in a fish bowl, and the water is changed periodically. However there appear to be very few suppliers of fish bowls in India at an affordable rate, despite spending a lot of time searching for a fish bowl online and offline also.

There are some animals which can be kept as pets and also as domestic animals which can be sold, used for meat like hen, ducks, pigs, rabbits. However both in small towns and large cities it is not easy to find a person who is selling hens, pigs and rabbits to home owners as pets. A few decades ago, in panaji, and surrounding areas, a number of people were keeping hen, pigs and rabbits, now the number of people keeping domestic animals has reduced to a great extent. In panaji, in May June before monsoon, some duck sellers are using selling ducks at Campal parade ground for Rs 400- 500. In small towns keeping a pet is a good hobby for children to keep them busy, and for middle aged and older people who have limited job opportunities in a small town.

There are advantages and disadvantages of keeping different kinds of pets and the pet owner has to consider his or her budget before selecting a pet. For some pets like dogs and cats a lot of care is required, as they have to fed regularly, taken for walks, and the excreta has to be cleaned up. They will also roam around the house and may damage household items like furniture, appliances, and attack small children, babies , so money may have to be spent on repairs, medical bills. Though the birds are kept in a cage, they have to be fed regularly and their cage has to be cleaned. They may be also attacked by cats and dogs in the neighbours

Tortoises are relatively low maintenance pets, however it is difficult to find a supplier for a tortoise in India because of the restrictions of indian wildlife act. There are some retailers who claim that they can supply foreign tortoises, imported from singapore and other countries. Though tortoises will roam around the house, they do not make the house dirty, and live for a long time, so the vet bills for the tortoises will be relatively less. However it is difficult to trace the tortoise which is roaming all around the house and hiding in different corners of the house.

There are a large variety of animals which can be kept as pets at home, depending on budget, space available and travel schedule of the home owner and those residing in the home. Some of the more popular pets are :

• Cats
• Dogs
• Rabbits
• Parrots
• Goldfish, betta, Koi and other fish
• Tortoises
• Canaries
• Rabbits
• Pet mice
• Horses and donkeys
• Other pet animals, birds and reptiles

The rules for keeping pets are differing in different countries, for example in India, certain types of tortoises like the indian star tortoise cannot be kept as pets due to the restrictions of wildlife act
