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.
