Pets for apartments: 5 animals that adapt well to small spaces

Bringing a pet into your apartment or studio apartment can be quite simple if you know that some animals adapt better than others to small spaces.

Furthermore, it is always possible to make adaptations and change your routine a little, whether you live alone or with someone else , to make your day-to-day life healthy and fun.

Let’s take a look at some animals that do really well in small spaces. One of them could be the ideal companion for you if you live in an apartment.

Small dogs

Of course, not all dogs in apartments will live very well, after all they can become huge, like a Great Dane or English Mastiff, which can reach 100 kg.

But a Maltese, Shih Tzu, Pinscher, Chihuahua and Yorkshire Terrier can adapt easily. Most of the breeds mentioned are very furry dogs, so they require very special care.

But veterinarians also recommend mixed breed dogs as a good option. Although they don't get as small, they adapt well.

With training, daily walks, food, water and a place to relieve themselves, they can be great apartment companions.

Cats

Great for smaller spaces, an abandoned kitten you adopt could be your “pet soulmate.”

They require simple care, are not very expensive and live very well in apartments.

If you choose them, it's a good idea to have screens on the windows, ensure toys, food, water and a clean litter box.

Hamster or guinea pig

Even though they are relatively large rodents, hamsters do not exceed 20 cm and guinea pigs reach up to 40 cm.

They adapt perfectly to small spaces and make great pets. They love to play and interact very well with their owners.

Both live well in cages - which cannot be too small and must have lots of toys.

They eat little and don't make much of a mess, making them great for those who don't have much time to spend at home with them.

Since they require specific care, a visit to the vet is super important! This tip applies to all pets, okay?

Fish

Beautiful and very calm, they don't require much care, but they have very specific needs that you should pay attention to.

If you choose them, remember that not all species coexist well together, consult a specialist to find out more.

The aquarium must be specific to its size, the water must be treated in a specific way and you must pay attention to the temperature and correct food.

Rabbits

Cute and very friendly, they are great apartment pets. They can be kept in cages, but you should let them roam around the apartment a few times a day.

They don't make much of a mess, they are easy to feed and are very nice to have around.

Don't forget that for the well-being of each and every pet, a visit to the vet is essential to find out the right care for them!
