Pets can improve your brain health!

Have you got a furry friend to keep you company at home?


Did you know that “Daisy” and “Charlie” can help keep your brain healthier longer?


It’s science! Check it out…


Studies have shown that spending time with our furry family members has the following benefits:


  • Lowers the stress-hormone cortisol

  • Increases the feel-good hormone serotonin

  • Improves overall mood

  • Can lessen symptoms of depression

  • Social and emotional support for those with dementia


These positive results are why pet therapy is becoming so popular for many people!


The next time you’re with your pet, pay attention to how you feel physically, emotionally, and mentally in their presence.


Oh, and maybe thank them for helping your brain too!
