Pets, especially dogs and cats, may reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, ease loneliness and encourage exercise and playfulness which could improve cardiovascular health.
They can increase opportunities to exercise, get outside, and socialize. Regular walking or playing with pets can decrease blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and triglyceride levels.
Pets can also help manage loneliness and depression by giving us companionship.
