It's no surprise that dogs have such a positive impact on our welfare, as they give an everlasting affection and company. A study found that, regardless of their age, 95% of pet owners consider their animal to be a member of their family. It stands to reason that pets and mental welfare go hand in hand, as pets bring joy to children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly alike.

On that note, here's a look at six ways pets can improve our quality of life and health: <h3>1 Encourage Activeness</h3> Having a pet, especially a newborn, is like welcoming a baby, as it takes a lot of work and effort. Having larger animals, such as dogs and horses, can keep you active in your day-to-day life. Exercise or any physical activity releases chemicals called neurotransmitters in the brain.

According to experts, simply touching an animal, especially a pet, can stimulate the body's synthesis of dopamine, a brain chemical that promotes happiness and relaxation. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Anxiety and stress are closely related. Pets can lessen both by helping you focus on the present rather than the past or future.
