Health Benefits of Owning a Pet

http:www.karenrothnutrition.com A pet is certainly a great friend. After a difficult day, pet owners quite literally feel the love.

In fact, for nearly 25 years, research has shown that living with pets provides certain health benefits. Pets help lower blood pressure and lessen anxiety. They boost our immunity. They can even help you get dates.

Like any enjoyable activity, playing with a dog or cat can elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine -- nerve transmitters that are known to have pleasurable and calming properties.

People take drugs, both prescription and illegal ones, to raise serotonin and dopamine, but the healthy way to do it is to play with your pet, or hug your spouse, watch sunsets, or get around something beautiful in nature.

Heart attack patients who have pets survive longer than those without, according to several studies. Male pet owners have less sign of heart disease -- lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels -- than non-owners, researchers say.

Our pets bring us so much joy and laughter. They calm us down when we're stressed. They love us 100 % unconditionally. So it's important that we help them stay healthy and live long lives. I'm so excited to share with you a new section on my website. It's for those most special to us. Our Pets.

I'm pleased to announce a new section in my online store dedicated to Pet Health.

Whether you have a nervous dog, or an aging one with achy joints... a cat that that needs Skin and Hair support, Anti-shedding or Hairball Elimination. You will find safe and healthy products for these conditions.

Dental support is also very important in our pet's health keeping their gums and teeth at their best. You will find that too, along with pet vitamins and other terrific products to keep your pet healthy and happy.

Please visit http:www.karenrothnutrition.com

To celebrate the launch of the Pet Section of my store, you will receive a 10% discount on all Pet products by using coupon code PETS.

Wonderful! The physiology of owning a pet. =] I love it! I have 2 Yorkies, and they always cheer me up when I'm feeling a little down.

Thanks for posting!

@AmiraJericho That's great! Do you have videos of your yorkies on YouTube? When ever I feel sad, I watch puppy videos and they cheer me up!

Love this video! And it's so true! My puppy has made things so much better for me in general since I got him. My old dog and cat (Who lived to be 15 and 16), made life great as well. There is NOTHING like the love of a pet!
