Heath Benefits of Pets - “A pet is a medication without side effects that has so many benefits. I can't always explain it myself, but for years now I've  seen how instances of having a pet is like an effective drug. It really does help people.” Dr. Edward Creagan, Oncologist at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.

 

This wonderful active duty couple stepped up to adopt/foster a veterans dog while he works on readjusting to cilivan life

 

 

Man’s best friend may help you make more human friends.

People who have more social relationships tend to live longer.

 

 

 

Dulce has made a world of difference in my life. She adds such fun and love to my life.

Pets reduced anxiety and provide a source of comfort and developing empathy.

An animal can fulfill the 'need to be needed'.

Pets can increase your exercise, dog owners who regularly walked their dogs were more physically active.  Physical activity promotes over all good health.

 

"My Girrrrrrl" gets me and my husband to the park for our usual workout of ball chasing. Having her to play & exercise with everyday is good.

 

Sometimes, the social support offered by an animal is greater than the support another human could offer.

Pets can decrease your: Blood pressure, your Cholesterol levels, Triglyceride levels and feelings of loneliness.

Pets can increase your socialization & they love you
