Il October 10 and the World Mental Health Day and we at Todocat have decided to celebrate it by showing you i 4 benefits having a pet at your side.
The term “pet” already says a lot: dogs and cats they help us feel less alone in a society where individualism prevails over everything and everyone. Our four-legged friends know how to offer unconditional love and, nowadays, it is not something that is easily found! Here are the 4 reasons that show how pets are good not only for the body, but also for the mind!
1. Never again alone!
Having a pet, as the term itself suggests, reduces the sense of isolation and makes us feel part of a group. Goodbye loneliness!
2. Depression? Goodbye!
Having a four-legged friend in our lives reduces the risk of depression. Indeed, how can we get depressed when we have such a welcoming committee on our way home from work?
3. Relax, Take it easy!
Relax, take it easy, sang Mika: those who have a pet, in fact, do not suffer from stress at all! Taking care of cats and dogs relaxes and makes you live life with serenity. Ever heard of Pet Therapy?
4. Never fear again!
A dog can prevent panic attacks. A very important skill that can allow you to receive the right help and on time. Not a small thing!
