"I can't wait to pick up my dog's poop!" said no child ever. As cute and lovable as pets can be, it's no surprise that kids can have a hard time when it comes to taking on the responsibility of caring for them. The unglamorous side of pet care (read: scooping poop and trips to the vet) can be especially tough for kids to grasp, but some can even struggle with walking their dog on a daily basis (first thing in the morning, kids!) and grooming their fluffy friends.
Parents who are still on the fence about getting their child a new pet — or the ones who are looking to increase their child's current level of responsibility — should considering investing in any of these interactive and educational toys that are guaranteed to turn young kids into dependable pet owners.
