Hi! Let's talk about pets and how we look after them. There are no wrong answers here — I just want to hear your thoughts.

“Do you have a pet, or did you have one when you were younger? Tell me about it.”

“In your opinion, what does it mean to be a responsible pet owner?”

“If you could adopt any animal from a shelter tomorrow, what would you choose and why?”

“Would you rather have a pet that needs lots of exercise or one that mostly stays calm at home?”

“How often do you think people should take their pets to the veterinarian?”

Fresh topic questions — none repeat until you have seen them all
