4 Ways Pets Reduce Health Risks

Health Resources

62% of households in the U.S. own at least one pet. In almost every town you can find a shelter housing a potential fur-baby for the family. If you are on the fence about adopting a new pet into the family, read on to see five benefits of owning a pet and how they can improve your long-term health! 

  1. Pets reduce stress

Studies show overwhelming evidence for the positive effect your furry friend has on your health. Stress levels decrease significantly in those who own a pet, and the ease of stress can improve longevity of life. Playing with them, and loving on them can be highly therapeutic. Even just having them nearby can improve your mood and dopamine levels in the brain.

  1. Pets help decrease risk of heart attacks

That’s right–your furbaby not only decreases stress levels, but he or she can also boost heart health. Thus, you are less likely to be at risk for a heart attack if you have a dog or cat in the house. 

  1. Pets lower blood pressure

Yet another benefit of pets? They lower blood pressure, just by being their cute, furry selves. Keeping blood pressure low can improve physical health and lead to a longer life overall. 

  1. Pets provide companionship 

During the pandemic when social distancing became a must, many turned to the animal shelters seeking a feline or canine friend. Pets are renowned companions, known for their ability to reduce loneliness in their human owners and of course boost mental health. 

Another way to decrease stress? Finding the best healthcare options for you and your furry companion is proven to effectively lower stress. Get your free quote today so you can rest easy knowing your covered with the best possible insurance plan.
