Pet people are the best kind of people, aren’t they? Chances are, if you care for a pet of any kind, you already possess the selflessness and responsibility needed for raising a child. Pets are wonderful playmates, provide guidance and support to children with disabilities, and are a constant source of love and snuggles whenever a child needs a friend.

The March of Dimes offers advice on how to prepare your pet for baby’s arrival and how to take care of yourself during pregnancy.
