6 Kid Friendly Pets

PEKIN, Ill., – Are your kids begging for a pet? If you're like most parents, you might feel apprehensive about getting your child their first pet. We came up with a list of 6 kid friendly, easy to manage pets that won't drive you crazy! Animals are a fun and rewarding addition to your family! Check out these fun critters to pick up from the pet store:


1. Hermit Crabs



Hermit crabs are probably the most low maintenance pets you can think of. They're a great first pet for kids learning responsibility and they're very inexpensive.


2. Hamsters



Hamsters are also a great low-maintenance pet for kids. They are relatively easy to care for and can be fun to play with and handle outside of their cages.

3. Guinea Pigs



Guinea pigs require a bit more space than their hamster friends as they grow to a larger size. They are also much more vocal and can be a great pet for kids.

4. Fish


Once you have their habitat set up, fresh water fish are probably the easiest and most visually appealing pets to care for. The hardest part is keeping the tank clean!

5. Tortoise



Tortoise are an easy to care for and fun pet for children. Be aware though, that they're lifespan is rather long so you could be in for a time commitment! 


6. Rabbits



Rabbits require a bit more attention and space than other small pets, but given the proper attention they can make cuddly companions! They can even be easily trained to use a litter box!

There are tons of other animals that would make great small additions to the family, but these 6 kid friendly pets are our favorite! We would like to encourage you to do a lot of research when choosing to bring an animal into your home! Always purchase pets from reputable stores and never remove an animal from the wild! To ensure your pets are receiving the best care possible, be sure to consult with professionals before bringing your new friend home! 

While you're getting your home ready for a new companion, be sure to take good care of your vehicle investment! Check out our routine maintenance pages and our seasonal maintenance pages to stay up to date on your vehicle service.

Celebrate Pi Day with a Pie!

PEKIN, Ill., – Every year on March 14th, mathematicians rejoice as we celebrate National Pi Day. This year at Velde Ford, we're wondering if there is a proper way to celebrate this holiday. The best way we can think of to celebrate Pi Day is with a pie! Although pies have nothing to do with pi, who doesn't need an excuse to eat delicious baked goods? Check out the recipes below to bring Pi Day to your kitchen! 


Celebrate Pi Day with a Pie!

This chocolate lover's dream is basically a giant, gooey brownie. If that doesn't sound good to you, we don't know what will. Pair it with some ice cream and you're good to go.


Celebrate Pi Day with a Pie!

This classic favorite is fairly simple to make and delicious to eat! You could make the crust and pudding from scratch, or you could follow this recipe with the store bought goods.


Celebrate Pi Day with a Pie!

This easy eclair pie is to die for! The chocolatey swirl on the top is made from chocolate syrup, but if you're feeling ambitious, you could try melting chocolate and drizzling it on! 


Celebrate Pi Day with a Pie!

This cherry crumble pie has a delicious crumb topping rather than a traditional pie crust. It would go great with some vanilla ice cream! 


Celebrate Pi Day with a Pie!

Blueberry sour cream pie is a little different than a traditional fruit pie, but it's just as good, if not better! 

So whether you're excited about Pi Day because you have the first 100 digits memorized or because you just like to eat pie, we hope you celebrate Pi Day with a Pie and try out some of our favorite recipes! Why not treat yourself for this yearly event! We think your stomach will thank you! If you want your car to thank you, don't forget to stay up to date on your routine maintenance!
