Plan a Day and We'll Reveal Your Perfect Pet | Buzzfeed Style Quizzes

This quiz uses your daily routine and preferences to suggest pets that generally match your lifestyle, but it can't replace meeting animals in person or professional advice. Use the result as a starting point, then visit shelters, talk to veterinarians, and consider fostering to confirm the best long-term match.

The quiz recommends general pet types based on routine and care needs. For breed-specific questions — such as energy levels, grooming needs, or temperament — research the breed and consult breeders or rescue organizations to ensure the specific animal fits your expectations.

Yes. Allergies are a major factor in pet compatibility. If you or a household member has allergies, the quiz will bias toward lower-dander or non-furry options. For uncertain cases, consult an allergist and consider spending time with potential pets to test reactions before adopting.

Adoption is encouraged — shelters and rescues have many animals needing homes and staff can advise on temperament. Buying from reputable breeders is another option for certain breed needs, but always prioritize ethical breeders and consider adoption first.

Retake the quiz thinking about future or alternative routines (for example, a weekend schedule, a job change, or after moving). This helps you see how changes in time, space, or budget would affect what pet fits best.

Start by researching suggested pet types, visit local rescues, ask about temperament and health, schedule a meet-and-greet, and plan a realistic budget and routine. Consider a trial foster or short-term sitting to ensure long-term compatibility.
