Did you know owning a pet can improve your health & make you happier?

That's right, studies have shown people with pets in the home live longer. They also experience less depression, stress, and anxiety compared to similar people that don't own a pet. Just the act of petting an animal has shown to reduce blood pressure and stress levels, making you feel more calm and relaxed. Plus, walking your pet not only provides you with exercise, it also helps those who suffer from anxiety and depression by giving them a reason to leave the house. Ever wonder why you always see a smile on the face of someone walking their dog(s)... Well now you know! The animal you helped by providing it a home is now helping you.
