Health Spotting: Pet Something Adorable Today

Written by Olga

Want to stay healthy? Pet a puppy.

Pets: there not just for licking your face and shedding all over your life, they can actually help keep you mentally and physically healthy. From being a natural mood enhancer (how do you not smile when kitty purrs in your face) to keeping you active (think about how many calories you’re burning while running around the park with Killer) pets are your best friends when it comes to keeping you healthy and happy. Here’s some other benefits to having pets:

  • Keeping your blood pressure in check
  • Help lower your cholesterol
  • Keep your heart healthy
  • Alleviate depression
  • Keep you social

And there are so many more benefits. Get the full list here.
