The Impact of Pet Ownership
Being a pet owner has become increasingly popular. In 1988, only 56% of U.S. households owned a pet. But according to the 2009/2010 National Pet Owners Survey, 62% of U.S. households own a pet, which equates to 71.4 millions homes, 5.3 million owning a small animal pet.
This increase may be related to recent research that shows pets can provide excellent social support, stress relief, and other health benefits (unless you’re someone who really dislikes animals or is absolutely too busy to care for one accordingly). For example, pets can add structure to your life. Most humans need some sort of structure in their life because, though it may not seem like it, structure provides daily organization. Pets are entirely dependent on their owners for exercise, food, and health care. Having a pet will definitely provide structure into the owner’s life and will set a steady rhythm.
Pet ownership can also improve your mood. For those who love animals, it’s basically impossible to stay in a bad mood when petting a long-ear rabbit, or when a hamster’s tiny feet tickle your bare skin.
All sorts of pets can improve family bonds as well. Anyone who is a pet owner knows that they become a member of the family rather quickly. They teach compassion, responsibility, and nurturing behavior. Pets can also make great playmates for the kids.
So whether you own a pet for therapeutic, educational, or family building reasons, the benefits of owning one are definitely large in number. Please share with us how your pet has positively impacted you and/or your family!
