\nWith dogs in your house, you will exercise more. Dog owners have to walk the dog and this indirectly pushes them to take those extra steps for healthy body. Dog owners tend to get more physical activity than people who don\u2019t have a pet at home. A study states that dog owners walked to an average of 300 minutes per week, compared with non-dog owners, who walked an average of 168 minutes per week.<\/p>\n
\nPeople who have strong connection with their pets also have excellent social and relationship benefits. Strong attachment to pets reported feeling more connected to their communities and relationships. A recent study at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University states that if a person is strongly attached to his\/her furry pal as a teenager and young adult, he will grow up as more empathetic and confident person. Thus, you will grow your networks and improve your relations.<\/p>\n
\nPets are those fun-filled companions that make you feel happy always. Just engaging with them or looking at them makes you more fulfilled and happy. A 2009 study by Miho Nagasawa of Azabu University in Japan has stated that one\u2019s level of oxytocin (a chemical element that depicts the feeling of happiness) is raised remarkably after interacting with a dog. Moreover, the only interaction that helps to raise the level of happiness was to stare into their dog\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n
\nIf you are more into stressful conditions, then having a pooch really helps you out from this situation. Pets have that power to cool you down significantly when you are in high-stress situation. A psychology professor at the University of Buffalo has performed a series of tests that proved to help reduce people\u2019s everyday stress. Through her research, Karen Walker had found that the subject\u2019s stress response was significantly lowered if there was a dog in a room.<\/p>\n
\nResearchers have found that dogs have been proven to be helpful in therapy programs. They help in the recovery process of soldiers going through post-traumatic stress disorder. Whether it\u2019s recovery from dreadful trauma or post surgery stress, pooches are at best to dissolve the traumatic stress of any event and help patients to get back to normal life.<\/p>\n
\nMost people face problems of loneliness especially exclusively elderly people are more prone to this condition. Having a pet by your side makes you feel complete and his\/her presence makes you feel less depressed. A study stated that in people 60 years of age and older, owning a dog or a cat, were four times less likely to be diagnosed as clinically depressed. It has been proved that, compared with non-owners, pet owners made fewer medical visits over the course of the year.<\/p>\n
