This research comes from Nestle Purina, a producer of animal products. They conducted a survey in the Netherlands that showed that pets do wonders for your health, both physically and mentally.
goodbye isolation
Four out of five pet owners are convinced of the positive effect of such an animal on their health. 60% agree with those who do not have a pet. A quarter of them also indicate that owning a pet will ensure they meet more people. And among those who have an animal at home, 75% say they feel less alone than before. And, as many people report, they feel happy thanks to their four-legged friend. The survey therefore points to the ability of pets to bring people out of social isolation and thus enhance their mental and physical health.
