As If we didn't know. Studies say Pets are good for the heart!

It is obviously true, as many studies have previously shown that pets are good for your health. This is not just because physical activity is increased when you have a dog to exercise, and you take regular walks with your dog. Some studies have also shown that mental health and wellbeing are improved by having pets around. Just stroking a pet can reduce stress levels and pets provide company for people who live alone. This is also a benefit for the heart, because too much stress can lead to heart trouble.
