Are you a current pet owner, or former pet owner?  I’m sorry – I meant to say pet guardian. After all, our pets are more than possessions.  They too are members of our families and share a special place in our lives.  Do you remember your first pet?  As children we all fondly remember our pets and the special bond that we forged.  As adults, we become too busy with our daily routines to relax and enjoy our pets. There is just no time for such child’s play.  If you believe that, then you may want to reconsider. 

Take 2 Pets and Call Me In the Morning

While it may sound unconventional to some, our pets do have the power to heal and researchers are beginning to take heed.  A study of 6,000 patients conducted in Melbourne, Australia found that those individuals with pets had lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, and therefore diminished risk of heart attack.  In a separate study, American researchers found that, even after a heart attack, pet owners were more likely than other coronary patients to be alive one year later.  The reason is simple – pets help us relax.

Our pets give us unconditional love and companionship.  They make us feel less lonely by creating a feeling of being needed, and by encouraging social interaction with others.  Our pets are also a stimulus for healthy exercise, and make us feel safer.

While there may be clinical explanations, no one professes to truly understand how the healing power of pets works on the body, mind and soul. However, more and more health professionals are tapping into the benefits of such power. Animal therapy programs are now increasingly used in hospitals, children’s homes, and retirement centers.
