If you’re a pet parent you already know what your life is like when your pets are around and how boring, empty and lonely it feels when they aren’t. Well guess what, even studies claim that pets can actually help you remain happy and healthy!
Nevertheless, it’s still nice to know that aside from the basic advantages of taking care of a pet, it also has other perks that makes it all the more compelling. According to a recent study, pet parents have more social networks of relationships compared to those who don’t have pets. Because of this, a place where there are a lot of pet parents seem to function more effectively.
This is true when you come to think of it because in some scenarios, only pets are the common ground for people. It’s easy to begin a conversation when you meet another pet parent. It’s like you understand each other immediately. In bigger scenarios, sometimes pets are what keep an extended family together.
Relatives and families from other countries and states, pay a visit because they adore your pup! Further conclusions to the study conducted indicates that keeping a dog is a key builder to the concept of a happy and safe society. Communities with higher dog population are found to have healthier residents, lesser crime and there is more trust between people. A win situation for pet parents, I’d say! Share away, people!
