Your animals are more than just a pet

Hello 😎

Animal connections, such as interacting with pets or therapy animals, have been known to have a positive impact on human health. Studies have shown that interactions with animals can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve overall well-being.

In terms of the neurological stress response, interacting with animals can trigger the release of oxytocin, which is known as the "love hormone" or "bonding hormone." Oxytocin plays a role in reducing stress and promoting feelings of trust and social bonding.

Additionally, interacting with animals can also distract the mind from stressful thoughts, provide companionship, and offer emotional support. These factors can contribute to a reduction in the body's stress response and promote a sense of calm and relaxation.
