Here’s the Perfect Pet to Own Based On Your Sign

Aries are playful souls who generally love all animals, but the pet that would best suit them is a dog companion who will wrestle, run, play, and burn off all that restless energy. An easily trainable breed would also be good to consider for an Aries, who may not have the patience for an unruly dog.

Taureans are all about the senses. They value loyalty and affection, so a cat or dog would best suit them as a pet—even better if they're soft and cuddly! These bulls need a pet who will curl up on the couch with them for some serious Netflix binging.

Geminis are versatile and find many different animals appealing, however, a pet that can be taught to speak is hands-down the most Gemini pet of all! Geminis are also known for working with their hands, and parrots are a pet that require a particular type of handling.

Cancers are best suited for cats. These folk are similar to cats, because their moods are rather unpredictable. They have energy at the oddest times of day and are often misunderstood—but they're receptive and intuitive much like a cat as well.

Nothing says Leo more than a large and unforgettable pet. Horses are majestic and powerful animals much like the lion himself, and it would fit well with Leos style to ride off into the sunset. However, horses are quite extravagant, so on a lesser scale, a show dog would suit their proud style.

Virgos tend to appreciate small and exotic animals that are often not even heard of, or well known. Virgos have no problem caring for a pet, but they prefer something that isn't going to make a ton of mess, or create too much chaos in their environment. An exotic fish is a calming, mess-free pet for them.

Golden Retrievers are a very intelligent and social dog breed. You can bet you'll find Libra at the dog park, socializing with all of the other dog owners, and this breed will happily meet-and-greet with the other dogs (and owners) without causing any discord, which Libras would rather avoid.

Scorpios are a powerful sign, so they need an animal that is just as intensely loyal and protective as they are. German Shepherds are a very focused and perceptive breed, much like their zodiac counterpart. They can sniff-out deception and will protect their owner like it's their duty, which Scorpios love.

Sagittarians are active people who aren't quick to settle down, so much like the other fire signs, they need a pet that is active and can keep up with them. A husky or sled-dog has an adventurous nature that would appeal to this thrill-seeking sign.

Though this may seem like an odd choice, Capricorns are an earth sign who are in fact ruled by the mountain goat. These unique pets may require more maintenance for other signs, but Capricorns don't mind the extra work, and these funny little mini-goats would lighten their usually more serious moods.

Aquarians feel a moral duty to make sure any pet they have has been acquired in a humane and responsible manner. These folks are more detached than other signs and don't need a cuddly animal, but will certainly provide for an animal in need.

Pisces are one of few who could appreciate a rat as a pet. A Pisces will see a diamond in the rough, and won't judge the rodents not-so-glamorous stereotype. In fact, rats are known to be intelligent and affectionate pets—and are lower maintenance than a dog, which best suits a Pisceans laid back personality.
