The Wonder of Pets

The Wonder of Pets Pets are more than cute companions. Our canine and feline friends can actually make us healthier. Here are just some of the reasons why. Pets... MAKE US FEEL GOOD. Talking to or cuddling a pet has been shown to help ease chronic pain from arthritis as well as migraines and increase brain activity, which helps ward off or lessen the effects of depression. KEEP US MOVING. Organisations such as Age UK recognise that petting, walking, playing and looking after a pet gives us a sense of purpose and keeps us active. Pet care benefits our joint health and flexibility. ENCOURAGE US TO STAY SOCIABLE. Pets protect against isolation and provide older adults with more opportunities for friendly socialising. It's fun to chat about a pet's endearing habits and appearance. HELP OUR HEARTS. According to the Pet Health Council, pet companionship can also help lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and encourage healthier heart rates.
