When you're filling out or editing your profile, there are two questions about living with companion animals (pets).

They use different types of selectors. A checkbox allows you to choose multiple answers, while a radio button (like an old-style radio) only allows one.
Like most of our questions, please choose whichever is closest to your situation. You can always write more in your Introduction.
This allows us to set up filters for the standardized answers. (previously if you wrote "Yes I love dogs" or "No I'm allergic to dogs" they would come up in the same search for the word dogs. This is one step towards making it easier to create lists of potential homemates.
As always, if you have questions about the working of the website or need tech support, send an email to web@swlt.ca , use our contact form, or ask in chat.
