Do I Need Pets?

Do pets have the healing touch? Well, animals tend to bring out our nurturing instinct. They also make us feel safe and unconditionally accepted. No matter what species of pet you have, you will feel the therapeutic benefit. It could be a dog, a cat, parakeet, a goldfish or anything else.

Here are some healthy reasons to have a pet:
• Senior citizens who are bogged down by stress problems and who have pets are better off health wise than those without pets.
• Pet owners have lower blood pressure. Researchers say those with a pet nearby during stressful encounters experienced half the increase in blood pressure as those who did not own a pet.
• Pet owners have lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels than non-owners.
