Organisations like the Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI) have done plenty of research over the years into the benefits of pet ownership and interactions with animals. Here’s a few things they’ve found:
-Interacting with animals can reduce stress levels by up to 40% (HABRI study) and also helps reduce anxiety, depression, and loneliness.
-Petting a dog for just 10 minutes can lower cortisol levels, a hormone associated with stress (HABRI study).
-Owning or fostering a pet can lower the risk of heart disease.
-Fostering a pet can help children develop empathy, responsibility, and a sense of compassion.
