A fascinating article in the American Journal of
Cardiology has shown that pet owners had heart rates that changed
more than people who do not own pets. This means that the pet owners
with a heart condition were at an advantage as their heart is more
likely to change and adapt to differing circumstances such as a
stressful moment. There are numerous other benefits to owning household pets such as cats and dogs. Many non pet owners are
surprised when they are presented with these findings. Many pet
owners on the other hand claim that these benefits are common
knowledge among pet owners and they come to rely and take advantage
of these benefits on a regular basis. As well as having benefits for
those pet owners with existing heart conditions, stroking and petting
a pet such as a dog and cat can reduce the stress and blood pressure
of all pet owners. Pet owners have come to rely on this great benefit
especially when coming home after a stressful day at work and even
when engaging in enjoyable activities that may increase their heart
rate or blood pressure such as playing a competitive board game or
casino games at the online casino. In fact, there are some workplaces
that take advantage of the stress reducing advantages of pets and
allow owners to bring their pets to work on condition that they will
not be too disruptive and they are clean and well behaved. Allowing
workers to bring a pet to work is a low cost wellness intervention
that more companies are contemplating.
