Fancy a Pet?

Having a pet dog or a cuddly cat can be healthy, apparently.  Unlike any human relationship that you will have, having a pet removes stress and relieves you from some anxieties, which significantly improves your health and reduces risk of disease.

Have you heard of Pet Therapy?  In medical societies, it's called Animal Assisted Therapy.  Several studies show that pet therapy or AAT decreased the loneliness of different types of patients, which in turn improved their health.  Interesting, isn't it? 

Nowadays, you would see dogs and cats as part of a family.  Members would treat their pets as an "official member" of the family and you would notice the same treatment as what other family member has, even if its sometimes extreme.  They would even give these pets their own beds.  Some would even invest in pet covers, car seats and pet accessories.  Ridiculous as it may seem, but to some it’s a way of living.
