Mental health

Pets can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. They can also improve self-esteem and overall well-being.

Stress management

Interacting with a pet can decrease levels of cortisol, a stress-related hormone, and lower blood pressure.

Loneliness

Pets can provide a loving companion and help prevent loneliness.

Nurturing

Pets can encourage nurturing in children, teaching them to be careful and kind.

Exercise

Pets need exercise to stay healthy and fit. You can take your pet for walks or let them run and play in a fenced-in area.

Socialization

Socializing your pet can make them less likely to bite someone unexpectedly or be distracting by barking, jumping, or acting up.

Mood

Animals make us smile, which can improve our mood and make us feel comfortable, loved, and positive.
