The average annual cost for veterinary services is significantly higher for dogs at $386.93, compared to $217.36 for cats, indicating a greater financial commitment for dog owners.

Rabbits are highly social creatures that enjoy the company of both humans and other rabbits, enhancing their overall well-being. It is recommended to keep at least two rabbits together to provide essential companionship and social interaction, which significantly improves their quality of life. Neutered males and females are often considered the best pairing for rabbits, but any combination of neutered and bonded rabbits can coexist peacefully. Many well-cared-for rabbits can live between 7 to 10 years, making them long-term companions when given the right environment and care.
