If you’re visiting our site, you likely don’t need any convincing. But having a dog is beneficial for people of all ages. Pets make our lives better by:
Providing support emotionally, making you feel loved and showering you with affection.
Keeping us active by walking and playing with us.
Providing us with warm friendship and unchecked acceptance.
De-stressing us, relieving anxiety and chasing away depression and loneliness.
Teaching us about unconditional love, forgiveness, and joy.
Fulfilling our biological need for physical touch.
Increasing socialization as they create encounters with other dog-owners.
Providing us with structure, routine, and responsibility, as well as a sense of purpose and being needed.
Helping children to develop patience and empathy.
Boosting our confidence and building a sense of self-worth.
Basically, taking care of a pet helps us take care of ourselves. And that matters for all ages and stages of life.
