Talk about being on different wavelengths! A Virgo pet will simply not know what to do or how to cope without the sense of routine and order he so badly craves (a lifestyle the typical Aquarius will avoid at all costs).

Anything is possible however, and with a strong will and lots of compromise a wonderful pet-person relationship can be developed.

General Advice:

If you're looking for a clean and tidy pet that will be easy to train, look no further than a Virgo.

Virgo needs to feel that everything is part of a routine. Anything outside that routine is a problem and a challenge that your Virgo pet really doesn't want to face.

As a lover of routines your Virgo pet will want to be fed punctually at the same time everyday (and to eat the same food for every meal). He will also want to stick to the same daily route when going for a walk. If any routine is disrupted, your furry friend will make quite sure you appreciate his displeasure.

The advantage of having a coward as a pet (cowardice is a typically Virgo trait) is that he will be submissive and loyal. You can also be fairly certain he won't get into many fights.

Virgo pets tend to be very fussy about what they eat and are likely to protest if not satisfied with the food you bring them. As they often suffer from digestive problems, it is worth the extra expense of putting them on a very healthy, nourishing and well-balanced diet.

Virgo pets are relatively easy to train but, like Taurus pets, must be encouraged to regularly exercise so as to avoid obesity.

Treat your Virgo pet well and you will receive unlimited amounts of gratitude, affection and obedience in return.
