Research shows that pets can provide excellent social support, stress relief and numerous other mental health benefits.
Pets can be there for you in ways that people can’t. They can offer love and companionship, and can be the best antidote to loneliness.
Pets can increase your sense of purpose in life. Researchers found that elderly people who owned pets had better everyday well-being than those who didn’t own pets. When you have meaning and purpose, you are less likely to feel depressed, isolated, and lonely.
Pets connect to our nurturing side. Pets learn to sense emotions from humans. If the human is withdrawn the pet senses that something is wrong or different and attempts to change the human’s behaviour.
