The Healing Power of Pets

The Healing Power of Pets

Pets are more than animals; they are friends and part of the family! Owning a pet has been shown to improve mental health in people, but did you know that it can also improve physical health? Researchers from around the world have found many correlations which support the healing power of pets.

As you will see in this video, people who own dogs tend to visit the doctor fewer times a year than people without dogs. People who own cats are somehow less likely to die from a heart attack. Owning a pet can also reduce stress levels, allowing you to feel more positive and maintain a stronger immune system.
