The importance of pets

The popularity of pets among individuals, despite their age, is undeniable,

yet we must ask ourselves how beneficial owning one truly is. I strongly
believe that animals bring more good than bad in our life.

To start with, pets are known to sense peoples emotions, being able to
empathize with their loved ones. Adding an empathetic member to you
family is proven to boost you mental health as it keeps your spirit up in
weak moments. The power of their affection is so wide that pets are used
as a treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder and or depression.

Furthermore, pets are a great source of entertainment and a brilliant way

of teaching your child responsibility and patience while giving a loving
animal a home. Children should be taught these values from a young age,
yet they should also have their first encounter with the nature in a
controlled environment, in order for the encounter to be a successful one.
This can be achieved easily by adopting a pet.

Despite the numerous advantages of a pet, health matters must be taken

into consideration before taking up a pet. The amount of fur and dust or
the food they require can lead to serious health issues, which can block
you from cherishing your pet

No matter their size or their level of fluffiness, a pet can bring a

tremendous amount of joy in your life and it also has its personal role in
the family.
