SOCIAL BENEFITS
Do you feel lonely sometimes? Loneliness is considered to be one of the biggest social issues of our time. However, one of the easy solutions may be owning a pet of any kind as pets reduce the sense of isolation, as well as it develops a greater feeling of safety, creates stronger bonds and grows empathy. Also, have you ever noticed people with a dog in a park gathering and talking to each other? It is one of the great ways to meet other people, connect & make friends.
HEALTH BENEFITS
Owning a pet such as a dog lead to, besides other, many health benefits as it motivates you to spend more time outdoor. Immune function and allergy prevention were improved by having a pet at home. Kids who grew up in a house with a dog have shown to be more physically active and in their adulthood, and they created better emotional connections, shown more empathy and generally, were in better physical condition than non-pet owners. Maybe a dog can make you go for that run in the park you wanted for a long time.
BENEFITS FOR PERSONS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
Companion animals are very beneficial and may also be trained for the people with special needs such as physical disabilities, autism or other psychiatric situation as well as many other health conditions. These pets, especially dogs, then become inseparable from their human and are
ready to help them throughout the day with various assisting gestures.
EMOTIONAL BENEFITS
Another great reason to get yourself a pet is because it is a great companion in good and hard times. Pets help create valuable memories and make every-day life better. In the hard times, they prove themselves to be helpful with conditions such as stress & depression. Knowing that they wait for you at home and are ready to give you their 100% attention is a very positive feeling. For senior people, pets may also take a position of substitute for the loved one who passed away and keep them company. On the other side, kids often seek out for a friend and the furry one is the perfect one to tell their little secrets.
FINANCIAL BENEFITS
Last, but not least, benefit we want to mention is financial. Surveys from various countries have shown that benefits of owning a pet in regards to health have saved pet owners a fortune on mental health medication as well as on other health expenses.
