a celebration of #earthmonth wouldn’t be complete without mentioning our planetary cohabitants. according to a recent survey by the american psychiatric association, 86% of pet owners believe their “fur babies” boost their mental health – and 90% consider their animal adoptees & friends as part of the family. more pet-related benefits:
▶️improved cardiovascular health
▶️elevated mood
▶️boost physical activity levels
▶️reduce anxiety
▶️help alleviate + combat symptoms of adhd, ptsd, loneliness & isolation
▶️comfort & companionship (think: the elderly & people with medical conditions)
▶️aid in children’s learning development
animals may also help kids and adults with socializing. 🐕🦺so, take a walk to the dog park, visit a farm or rescue sanctuary, build a bird feeder – engage with any animals that inspire you – and enjoy a moment of zen with another gentle & curious being.
tell us your best buddy’s breed or species + tag their profile (if they have one!) in the comments.
