It is human nature to cuddle up to something, share compassion and love and to be loved and any pet owner can attest that their pet makes them feel good in some capacity.

Pets are company, they are sometimes very amusing and make us laugh and sometimes they show their love for us by getting closer to us and snuggling.

There is a chemical our bodies release called endorphins that loving our pet can make us feel when we are interacting with it, like the purring of a content cat that we are petting. The purring makes us feel good.

Exercising by walking a pet makes us feel good and the pet also can be viewed as a protector while on that walk, which is also a very positive feeling.

There are the ups and downs to owning and caring for a pet, but the good seems to always outweigh the bad. To learn more about this subject, follow this link to the site of the vet D’Iberville.
