Benefits of having a dog
Dog owners generally have a stronger immune system, helping them to stay well and spend less time getting over sickness and bugs. In fact, dog owners visit the doctor less often than non-dog owners, and are less likely to be on medication.- People recover faster from illnesses and even have higher survival rates after a heart attack if they have a dog.
- Children who have a furry friend have fewer days off school due to sickness.
- Children with chronic illnesses often cope better with treatment when they have a canine companion
- Dogs provide us with a sense of emotional wellbeing thanks to the unconditional love they give, which is why they are also great company and comfort for people who live alone
- Owning a dog can help people to recover from personal trauma, such as bereavement
- Dog ownership can help those with mental health problems to recover and feel better.
On top of all these serious benefits of dogs, they are also fantastic fun. They always make you laugh, they're there at the end of a hard day, and they'll almost always be on hand for a reassuring hug when you need it!
