How many pets is to many???

How many pets is to many????What do you all think.Can you have to many pets?

I think it depends on the size of your home and your pocket book.

I think if you can properly care for 100 pets, then have 100 pets. If you can't properly care for one pet, don't have one pet.

It all depends on the person, the living situation, money, space, size of pets, etc.

Personally, I like having 2 dogs and a few fish. 3 Dogs isn't so bad either, but I don't plan on going over 3 until I can live on a couple acres or more (which won't be for a looong time). Then my limit would probably be 4-5 dogs.

The 4 factors are Time,Room,and Money
also if you rent or own

well i have 2 pure malamutes(pecco and raccoon), 1 wolf/malamute mix(sidon),two cats (bam-bam aka:bambie and bongo) but up until 7 months ago I had another malamute(nakota aka:nokie,kota cakes).but i have had alot of malamutes and until nakota died we were breeding them (raccoon and nakota) (pecco is their baby) but one time we had another female kiana (we had to put her down)and nakota and kiana had puppies at the same time but kiana couldn't feed her puppies so at one time nakota was feeding 24 puppies sSO I HAVE HAD 28 MALAMUTES AT A TIME but ya it depends on how much space and time and money you have.

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!!

Yes you can have too many pets, but there is no number that should restrict someone. Some people can easily take care of 30 pets, some could only properly care for one, or none.

I could see myself with 6 or 7 dogs. I could handle more but after that point would worry that I could not give them all the individual time and training that I prefer to give my dogs. I want a cat, and I'll probably decide on another once I adopt the first. I can't have any animals that live in cages, it just doesn't work for me. I forget about them, don't give them enough attention, and don't clean their cage often enough. And even though I'd love a rat or a fish, I know I wouldn't care for them properly past the "new pet" excitement stage. Farm animals I could do, but probably not a lot of them. I do want cows, goats and chickens in the future, but would worry about giving proper care to pigs and horses, even though I'd love to own them both.

Money keeps me at the numbers we have now. I know as soon as finances get better I'll be adding a puppy. No question about that one. But until my job picks up, we're still at 5 cats, 1 dog, and a betta.

If I had a bigger hosue, and maybe someone else willing to help keep the cats brushed and the house vacuumed I'd probably add a few more tabbies to my collection too
