They say there’s no greater bond than man and man’s best friend - but what if you can’t have a dog? Whether it’s due to allergies, the place you live, or the schedule you have, pets are just another area where robots are taking over. But, is it worth shelling out thousands.

The biggest has to be companionship; there’s nothing like being greeted by your best (and most loyal) furry friend when you walk in the door (even if it’s just because they want food). But, there are also plenty of downsides. You have to consider costly pet insurance and vet bills, expensive nutritious food, and the fact that you can’t up and leave for vacation without sorting out plans for your pet, too.
