Start with yourself!! Love and care for animals around you.

I have heard people who say that pets are “just” animals, as though somehow they’re not important in our lives. These people have likely never owned a loyal dog or loving cat and their words couldn’t be further from the truth. Most pet owners will know how wonderful owning an animal can be; they will understand the companionship and how beautiful bonds can be formed between animal and human.

*They’re Good For Your Health

If you own a dog, then you will have to walk it at least once or twice a day which means you will be getting vital fresh air and exercise while having the opportunity to connect with nature and bond with your four-legged friend.

*They Give You Unconditional Love

Animals do not ask for much in life, and most just need a warm, safe and sheltered place to live, as well as proper food, water and exercise. In return they will give you unconditional love, loyalty and companionship. Dogs are a little more well known to offer unconditional love; cats can be a little mean sometimes.

*They Offer Emotional Support

A dog or cat can help with loneliness, give you companionship and someone to talk to, and sit with you during the evenings. Pets can be lifesavers when it comes to depression and grief. They can give you a sense of purpose and a reason to get out of bed when you are feeling particularly depressed or anxious.

Owning a pet can open up your world.

Playing with a cat or a dog can take your mind away from your problems and place you in the present.

In summary, owning a pet will change your life and bring you so much joy and love.
