What is the best age to introduce a new family pet?
What age should the youngest child be?

This one hits home with me. We are in the search for a puppy in the coming year and my youngest just turned 5.

We currently have no pets and my youngest also just turned 5. So, we are wondering when to introduce a dog as well!

We got our first family pet (a sweet but energetic dog) when my son was about 9 months old. Not a good idea! They love each other now, but it's like raising two toddlers at the same time: exhausting.
