Countless studies have shown that having a pet can significantly improve mental well-being. From reducing stress and anxiety to providing unconditional love and companionship, our four-legged pals have a remarkable ability to lift our spirits and bring joy into our lives. 💯 Imagine coming home after a long day to be greeted by a wagging tail or a soothing purr. That simple act of connection can melt away the day's worries and remind us to live in the present moment. Pets teach us about responsibility, empathy, and the importance of nurturing relationships – all essential components of good mental health. So, on this Adapt a Pet Day, why not consider opening your heart and home to a shelter animal in need? By adopting, you not only give a deserving pet a second chance at happiness but also enrich your own life in ways you never thought possible. 🐕🦺 Ready to make a difference in both your life and the life of a furry friend?

How do you keep active, with or without a dog? As many of you will be aware the main theme for the recent 2024 Mental Health Awareness week was 'Movement'. So it's particularly apt that the focus of Miss May's new 'Paws for Wellbeing' column is 'Be Active'! You'll find it on page 14 of the latest edition from Inside Publications Ltd https://lnkd.in/eaU7MKMg Those of us with dogs will know only too well the benefits to both our physical and mental health of dog walking, and interacting with dogs generally. But it's easy to take for granted just how valuable it can be for people of all ages. If you don't have a dog, there's lots of other ways to keep moving of course, but why not try out BorrowMyDoggy - there's a pooch somewhere waiting to hear the "walkies" word! Also, the The Cinnamon Trust does incredible work providing volunteers to support the elderly, or those who are terminally ill, to take care of their dogs or the pets, so reducing human sadness and animal suffering. Lots of local opportunities for doggy walking there too! Thanks Liana Naylor and to Pets As Therapy for giving me and Miss May the platform and opportunity to share the love🐾💞!

What sets humans apart from bots? Our experiences, including mental health challenges like depression, stress, and anxiety, are unique to us. Dogs play a crucial role in alleviating stress and anxiety, offering comfort and calmness. Research shows that cuddling our furry companions boosts oxytocin levels, promoting happiness and energy while fostering a positive mental and emotional state. Michigan State University researchers found that owning a dog contributes to overall health. In fact, in 2011, the university discovered that 60% of dog owners who walk their pets regularly meet exercise recommendations. Dogs not only reduce loneliness, stress, and anxiety but also encourage physical activity, benefiting our well-being in multiple ways. If dogs are essential to your well-being, reciprocating their care is crucial. Taking care of our pets is a mutual relationship that enhances both our lives and theirs.
