Prevention is Part of the Solution for Care
The special bond that we have with our pets is indescribable. Their capacity for unconditional love and joy they bring has been shown to benefit our health in so many ways. Studies show that having pets increases our physical health, mental wellbeing, and so importantly nowadays can help reduce stress. Our physical health benefits range from increased physical activity, improved cardiovascular health with reduction in lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and improved immune function.
