Set aside your cat-person and dog-person mentalities to discover the truth.

Which Pet Should You Actually Have?

You are always on the go and trendiest of your friends. Literally the only thing that can make you cuter is a small, furry companion who can go with you everywhere.

Small Dog

You’re outgoing and friendly but are sure to surround yourself only with the people you love and trust the most. You’re also an adventurous outdoor spirit who loves to cuddle.

Medium to Big Dog

Sure, you like keeping to yourself, but you also enjoy the company of your close group of friends. You’re responsible but your independence and thriving career make you wary of being tied down to a set schedule.

You have the ability to see the best in people, and you’re great at thinking outside the box. You also have an interest in the arts and an unusually trusting personality.

Boa Constrictor 

You may appear guarded, but you have a huge heart and are fairly responsible. No matter how it may look, you always care a lot, and you’d make a great hedgie parent.

Hedgehog

You are drawn to anything that is unusual, be it a mysterious local event or a new city. But you’re also super responsible and don’t go on adventures without taking care of your duties first.

Fennec Fox

You have a charmingly offbeat personality and notice things that many people don’t. You have a quick mind and are way less scatterbrained than people think. In fact, you’re probably the most together person you know.

Sugar Glider

You’re fascinated by what other people may dismiss and have an interest in how the world around you works. You are also mildly nostalgic about elementary school.

Frog

You like soft things, rich minimalist colors, and luxurious baths. Can you think of a better companion?

Chinchilla

You have a big, and VERY forgiving heart — you are willing to deal with a little messiness if it means having a cute lil' cuddle bug to hop through life with!

Bunny

You like danger...but not too much. You’re also good at appreciating details that other people do not.

Garter Snake

You like pretty things and decorating everything you can. But you also have realistic expectations and can be calmed at the end of a long day by the simplicity of a fish.

Small Fish

You always seem to want to prove a point and appear cool. Part of you might possibly want to be Dr. Evil but you lack the space.

Rainbow Shark

You are intelligent and slightly rebellious, and enjoy taking chances on things other people may not. Despite all that, you have a gentle heart and need a sweet companion.

You crave the outdoors and love to challenge yourself. You value feeling one with an animal, an essential trait for horse people. Plus, you don’t mind spending a little extra on a pet.

Horse

You have a great sense of humor and are the life of the party. Even when you get into trouble, you can smile your way out of it. A ferret is simply the perfect partner in crime.

Ferret

You don’t mind short-lived experiences and you are very grounded and realistic with your expectations in life. That being said, you LOVE food, because who doesn't?

Hamster

You may be introverted, but you never shy away from bold colors or sounds and you never mind waiting for your spotlight.

Parakeet

You LOVE to talk. You could talk to a brick wall and become best friends in an instant. This makes you a wonderful host, which helps filling any dreaded silence in your life.

Parrot

You want a living thing, but you’re not ready for most of them. Try a Chia Pet, there’s nothing to be ashamed of!

Chia Pet

You’re not ready to take care of anything even remotely alive. Not even a plant. Even a rock is iffy, but we’ll give you that because we like you.

Rock

You like to live life on the edge sometimes, which makes an animal with regenerative limbs just the right fit for you!

Lizard

You have thick skin, which makes you the ideal candidate for a pet as interesting and clawed as an iguana.

Iguana

This is somewhere between a chia pet and a rock. You probably shouldn’t have anything living, but hey, you want the appearance of a living thing. Here’s your rock pet with pizzazz. Plus, if you mumble it at a party, people may think you just have a straight up monkey!

Sea Monkeys

The older you get, the wiser you get and you value that trait in others. You’re fantastic at maintaining long-term relationships with people so you need a pet who will do the same. You’re a quirkier version of a “dog person,” which is kind of exactly what a wombat is. Advice: You may need to move to Australia before living out this pet dream.

Wombat

You’re a sweet, dignified person with a love for adventure and new people. You are the wisest but most comforting of your friends and need a pet to drive that point home.

Capybara

You’re extremely intelligent, which can somehow make you a little scatterbrained and messy. You have a loving heart and don’t mind a pet who gets to be bigger than its adorable infant self. Plus, the pitter-patter of hooves is a sweet thing to wake up to in the morning!
