Have your kids been hampering you to buy a pet?  If so, here are 5 kid friendly pets which are not only conducive to children, but will offer enjoyment to the entire family.

Dogs

One of the most lovable of all breeds is the Beagle.  They love children, are very social, loyal, intelligent, offer unconditional love, and provide hours of enjoyment.  They range in height from 13-16 inches, and are just wonderful watch dogs as well. 

While most beagles are usually kept outdoors, they love the indoors as well.  Care and maintenance of the beagle is affordable.  Ensure they are acquired through a breeder, however, since most pet shops may have beagles who originated from puppy mills.

If you are purchasing a beagle from a breeder, you can easily trace its lineage online by checking its pedigree. 

Fish

Fish are also affordable kid friendly pets.  They are easy to maintain and are available in a variety of species.  The only caveat is that a tank with a proper filtration system is required.  They are not only beautiful to look at, but for adults they act as a de-stressor and provide a soothing atmosphere as well.
