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!
