Its 2007, the Year of the Pig! Top 10 reasons why pigs make great pets
It’s the Year of the Pig, so of course the first thing that springs to mind is a pet pig right? This site has some info I didn’t know about why pigs (specifically Vietnamese Pot Belly pigs) make great pets.
Top 10 Reasons Pigs Make Great Pets
- Price is around the same amount as a pedigree dog or cat
- Non-allergenic in most cases
- Clean and odor-free
- No fleas
- They are about the size of a medium sized dog
- Long life span (12-20 years)
- Non-destructive, unlike a puppy
- Quickly trained: litterbox, tricks, walking harness, etc.
- Low maintenance: annual vet visit, generally stronger immune system than a dog or cat
- Intelligent, Social, and Communicative
Hm. For some reason, I would still prefer a dog or cat..
Remember, a pig is for life, not just for new year…
Look! Ahh.. Year of the Dog hands over to Year of the Pig!
