Owning a pet is a big commitment, lasting years. Children and parents
often don't think about the practical and financial aspects of pet
ownership, such as providing it sufficient housing and protection,
paying for vets fees, pet insurance, etc. In a fun and authoritative
way, Are Guinea Pigs the Right Pet for You encourages responsible pet
ownership from a young age, outlining the needs of guinea pigs and the
responsibilities of owners. The reader will be a detective, assigned to
investigate and work out whether a guinea pig is right for them based on
its needs and, if not, identify what pet is a more appropriate choice.
The book includes a virtual pet research section where children are
encouraged to live with an imaginary guinea pig with a real pet's needs
for a month before acquiring one. (Series: The Pet Detectives)
