Boost Heart Health
Many studies have found out the calming effects provided by pet therapy. When you pet or care for a dog or cat, it will reduce blood pressure and stabilize your heart rate, especially in anxious people. This will trigger the body to produce more endorphins, which is a relaxation hormone in the body that can help alleviate stress. When combined with other physical activities, it would reduce the risks of cardiovascular issues and other heart diseases. [6]
