For instance, according to Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine The Health Benefits of Owning a Companion Animal By Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine “Pets are a popular choice for many people living in the United States. The American Pet Products Association estimates that 44 percent of all households have a dog and 35 percent have a cat; this does not include other companion animals like horses, pocket pets, and others.”
“The human-animal bond between people and their pets has developed and strengthened throughout time. Many pet owners today see their animals as members of the family and of equal importance to any other person. “Fur baby” is a term said frequently and with much devotion. What may be less obvious are the scientifically proven health benefits to this bond including a decrease in blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels.”
