While it is a lot of fun, there are also therapeutic benefits. The simple act of petting animals releases an automatic relaxation response that elevates moods. The bonds lower anxiety, give comfort, reduce loneliness and increase mental stimulation. The benefits of spending time with a dog or cat can even decrease agitated behaviors and increase social interactions of older adults with dementia. It can also have positive impacts on physical health. Having pets around can lower blood pressure, reduce the amount of medications taken and diminish overall physical pain.
