Dogs and cats bring a lot of joy to our lives in many ways. These are just some of the reasons that we appreciate our furry, four-legged friends.
When you’re feeling down, your pets can bring a smile to your face and boost your mood. Some might do so by cuddling with you, while others might make you feel better by playing with you.
If you have a dog, you’re more likely to get regular physical activity. Whether you take your dog for long daily walks or run around at the dog park, you and your pet get to exercise together on a regular basis.
Your pets are always willing to listen to you complain about bad days, and they never judge you for it. This can help ease stress by letting you air your grievances rather than bottling them up inside.
Pets live in the moment, which can inspire you to do the same. Focusing on the present can help you feel calmer and less stressed on a day-to-day basis.
Dogs and cats don’t need much other than food, water, toys and affection. This means you get to enjoy their companionship without having to invest in a ton of supplies.
Dogs and cats are both capable of goofing around and acting silly at times. Watching your cat chase a toy or your dog do tricks can provide you with plenty of amusement.
If work or personal relationships have you feeling stressed, your pets can help ease tension. Spending time with pets has been shown to improve emotional well-being and reduce stress.
When you bring your dog to the local dog park, you both have a chance to make new friends. You can chat with other dog owners and strike up a friendship, or talk to others who are out walking their dogs.
Having pets can help you find new interests or hobbies. You might end up deciding to volunteer at a local animal shelter or learn more about what it takes to train dogs.
One of the most important reasons we love our pets is that they give us unconditional love. This can help you feel happier overall, especially when fellow humans get you down. Your pets will always love you without expecting anything in return.
