This intuitiveness is a useful trait in a pet owner, too.

Scorpios will study their pet and tune in to their preferences to learn how to best care for them.

Here are some pets that are ideal for Scorpios.

Person holding snake

According toBustle, a snake makes a perfect Scorpio pet.

Plus, owning a snake is quite a commitment since some species have a lifespan of over 20 years.

She maintains that “a strong person wants a strong dog.”

Pit bull tongue out

Consequently, bloodhounds, bull mastiffs, golden retrievers, and pit bulls are ideal for strong-minded Scorpio.

These dogs are powerful, which many people find intimidating.

When treated with love and affection, dogs will respond in kind and become trusted companions.

“There are no bad dogs, there are bad owners,” says Shafiroff.
