FIVE WAYS DOGS MAKE OUR LIVES BETTER
At the CESAR® brand, we work with the vet-led Waltham Petcare Science Institute to ensure our food is perfectly balanced for doggy healthy. In their research on the human-dog relationship, they’ve found some pretty interesting stats that prove, once and for all, the benefits of having a dog and the huge value of these shared friendships.
HEART HEALTH:
Research has repeatedly shown a relationship between pet ownership and lower cardiovascular disease, as well as higher recovery rates. This could be down to the extra exercise of dog-walking, lower stress or greater socialisation among other things.
CHILD WELLBEING
A new study has shown that dogs can help reduce anxiety and promote social confidence in children. This is believed to be because dogs offer non-judgmental support, as well as increasing cortisol levels in children when they pet their dogs, reducing stress levels.
COMPANIONSHIP
The Caring People Inc initiative, supported by the Waltham Petcare Science Institute, has shown that elderly pet owners are 36% less likely to report loneliness, while 40% have received support from someone they met through their pet.
PET THERAPY
Research has found that among patients with a similar type of joint replacement, those who had daily visits from a trained therapy dog required 28% less oral pain medication.
MEMORY AND MORE
Among older homebound adults, having a pet has been shown to promote executive function – such as paying attention, remembering details, and learning from past experiences – and has widely been shown to improve mental wellbeing.
