    Pets, especially dogs and cats, can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, ease loneliness, encourage exercise and playfulness, and even improve your cardiovascular health. Caring for an animal can help children grow up more secure and active. Pets also provide valuable companionship for older adults.👍

Aside from making you take care of yourself at the same time as caring for them, the companionship of an animal can make you feel calm and know you aren’t alone. Additionally, pets will show you affection in their own ways when you bond with them. I’m certain that your birds love you and improve your life just the same!

    I could literally sit here and write a book about how my dog changed my life. How I formed a deeper connection with him than I've even felt with my own family members and friends. There was communication and understanding without words. A simple look or nod was the only messages we needed to know what the other was expecting. Honestly I think the most pure form of happiness in my life was quiet off leash hikes together just the two of us.

    Once my former best friend and roommate moved out some 3 years ago, I quickly spiralled into depression and had crazy anxiety. This was my first time being completely on my own, and I felt so lonely. Long story short I was eventually sent to a psychiatric hospital, and got diagnosed with ADD and panic disorder. I've had these through most of my life, but being alone just amplified them to a whole new level. The doctors said that I should move home with my parents, but I have a little sister with autism and anxiety on my mom's side, and I don't have a great relationship with my dad. We've tried everything to have me not live alone, but nothing worked out. To this day I still live on my own, and I get really lonely quite often. But 2 months ago I was finally able to adopt a pet from the local shelter, so now I live with kitten Lucy. It has not completely cured my anxiety and loneliness, but it has helped _a lot._ She was abused and so is still a little nervous, but she is such a sweet girl and I love her so much! She greets me when I wake up and when I get home, she gives me a reason to get up in the morning, and when I feel down and contemplate bad comping mechanisms, I play with her instead, and it actually helps. Pets are the best. (My therapist told me at our last session, that it's pretty bad for me to live alone, even if I have a cat, but we're working on it).

    This reminded me of when my work dog, Chloe passed away last Thanksgiving. She was a retired service dog, that helped the disabled in wheelchairs. She was the only thing I looked forward to at work, bc she gave me so much joy and energy in an otherwise boring and mundane job. I love that some workplaces can accommodate for emotional service or service dogs of any kind. But this was the first pet that I’ve lost due to heart failure; I’ve given all my pets away bc my sister is allergic to dogs and cats. The holidays and her birthday, which is in February, are hard for me now, but I’m trying my best to cope.

    I got a puppy last month and so far he’s been stressing me out more than making me happy, i hope it gets better as he grows. He’s adorable and very lovable but he destroys everything lol. He’s a little over 4 months. I know I’ll get backlash from this but I’m just expressing my current feelings. I’m sorry if this upset anyone. That wasn’t the intent. I do suffer from Depression, Anxiety, Ptsd, & Bipolar disorder. So it’s a lot.

    My dog died in April. His name was Jack and he was 15 years old. I have ADD meaning I get stressed out and it’s difficult to understand things sometimes. My parents like to travel and said no more pets because they don’t wanna spend so much money off the vet and taking care of them. They also wanna travel a lot. I need a dog. I noticed that ever since I lost Jack, I’ve been getting depressed a lot, and haven’t been very comfortable lately. Half the day I sit in bed watching KZread which I shouldn’t be doing. I wanna write an essay for my parents about why I need a dog. Hopefully they’ll listen...

    8. Seeing an animal you have cared for love and thrive because you nurtured their beautiful soul. Rescued my cat as a kitten off a busy overpass above a highway during morning rush hour. She was so timid and scared. 4 years of TLC later and she's blossomed into such a loving and kind soul who I can't believe still loves me because it was a long series of touch and go with her. A couple months ago she reached another milestone of hopping up in my lap just to law down and nap on me.

    Having a pet really do wonders to our mental health. We had a kitten. In Sept 2020, my brother came with her at home. She was so weak and so scared of us. But we took good care of her and time by time, she became our "Kittu". But on Christmas 2020, she died on my brother's hand. We really really miss her! And we will always cherish those memories with her!
