We choose our pets based on a number of factors. Maybe your pet chose you and you simply couldn’t leave them behind, or perhaps you chose your pet based on activities that you like to do. Many people choose their pets based on their lifestyle and the type of animal that is going to fit in with it the best. But, what exactly does your pet reveal about you? The answer is more than you might realize. 

Your Personality:

The type of pet that you choose can reveal a lot about your personality. For example, if you chose a big, boisterous dog as your pet, you are probably an extrovert with plenty of energy to keep up with your dog and you don’t mind him bounding over to random strangers on walks and forcing you to start a conversation. On the other hand, if you went with a quiet cat who keeps herself to herself, you might be more of an introvert who prefers to stay at home and chill. 

Your Lifestyle:

The type of pet that you choose can also say a lot about your lifestyle. If you live an outdoorsy life and are always going somewhere and doing something, you might have chosen a pet who can easily keep up with all that, like a dog or a horse. On the other hand, if you’re quite busy with work all the time and don’t have a lot of hours in the day to dedicate to your pets, you might have chosen a more independent animal who can be left alone for long periods of time, like a cat or a rabbit. 

Your Friendships:

The type of pet you choose can also say a lot about the type of friend that you are. After all, our pets will often become our greatest friends in life. If you are the type of friend who is always involved, always helping and cheering your friends on, a dog would make the perfect friend for you as this is exactly the type of friend that they are too. There’s nothing quite like the greeting you get from a dog when you return home at the end of the day. On the other hand, if you are more of a quiet type of friend who lets your friends know that you appreciate and love them but need your own space, a more independent pet like a cat could be an ideal choice for you. 

Your Personal Information:

Any responsible pet owner knows to ensure that their pet carries their contact details at all times so that anybody who comes across their pet if they become stray can easily contact the owner and let them know. Your pet might be microchipped with your information or they might wear a collar with your contact number on it. However, the information that you attach to your pet to help others get in touch with you if they are found lost could be revealing more about you than you think. Nuwber allows people to simply enter your contact number into the site to find out any publicly available information on you, which can be helpful if your pet is lost and somebody wants to bring them back to you.
