How many pets is to many???

[critter crazy]

well like everyone said it depends on the persons means, as to wheter or not they can care for many or none! I myself have 45 and can easily see taking on a few more!!

I suppose it is different for each person so it is a personal thing. Our township only allows four dogs in a household. They don't need to worry about me because I would never go beyond the two I have. To me it is not just the money, etc. but the time that you have to spend *one-on-one* with them. I also have two cats so I feel that I am at my upper limit now. I only have two hands and one lap, and sometimes it is a bit crowded.

It depends on the person. I have two dogs, five cockatiels and over 40 bettas. I have the money and time for all of them. On the other hand, a relative of mine should never own a dog. Even a fish would be one pet too many.

Like others said, I think it differs from person to person. For me, I think 3 dogs and 1 cat is my limit but I would like to have another cat or two whenever we own a house. I would also really like to have horses down the road as well. But, for right now, 4 pets is enough!

Depends on the person. I can take care of 3 bettas, 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 1 hamster, but in the future, I don't really plan on anymore Hamsters or bettas for the timebeing so I can give my dogs and cat more attention.

Everyone has their own limitations. For me, 3 dogs is fine - but I think I could handle four at most.

it depends on the peson, how savvy they are about it etc.. I have no problem taking care of 5 dogs, 2 birds, 1 gerbil, 4 guinea pigs, 1 rabbit and several fish, and thats not many, I have had up to 6 dogs, up to 11 guinea pigs, up to 18 gerbils, up to 20 fish, and up to 4 birds, feel free to mix and match those numbers lol but I have had up to 25 pets at once and been able to give them all indivual attention, traing, exersize, affection, plus I have taken care of up to 8 dogs at once when I have dogsat for the naighbores, I have also taken care of all above said animals plus gone to a friends house 4 times a day to walk, train and give one on one attention to each of her dogs... I have the savvy to do this kind of thing, I love it so much that I make time, and still have time to hang out with my friends, mind you I also passed up every high school party I was invited to on account of "dog stuff" lol
