I've heard that there are some health benefits to having pets. Which are the best pets to have?

The answer depends on your individual lifestyle and budget, but generally speaking, cats and dogs are both great choices for pets. Cats require minimal maintenance and can be relatively low-maintenance as they tend to stay indoors most of the time. Dogs, however, need more attention and exercise than cats do. They also require a certain amount of space in order to move around comfortably, so they may not be suitable for people living in small apartments or condos.
