Physical benefits of pets for children<\/strong><\/p>\n Beside playing around the house -especially in the case of dogs, rabbits and sometimes cats- you can also visit animal parks. Even other types of animals will encourage your child to leave their screens to get up and play with their pet!<\/p>\n You get extreme pleasure just by watching an animal\u2019s video! Imagine petting, cuddling and playing with one. Pets have a huge relaxing effect which helps in lowering blood pressure, but they also have a secret superpower\u2026 They improve your child\u2019s immunity system<\/a>.<\/p>\n Owning a pet can help protect your child from depression. It can also ease their anxiety.<\/p>\n Have you heard of therapy pets<\/a>? These are well-trained pets that can especially help children and senior people.\u00a0 According to VCA animals \u201cThe purpose of pet therapy is to help people cope with health or emotional problems and make them feel good.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Do you remember organizing your toys to play the role of a teacher? Pets work the same way except they are a living being which is more realistic. When your child teaches the pet they are basically studying!<\/p>\n A recent study<\/a> has found that children who have a dog interact 40% better with their peers than those who don\u2019t own a dog. They also seem to be more empathetic and considerate.<\/p>\n Children and pets can be a bit unpredictable. Other than the health concerns you might have (which we\u2019ll be discussing further) you should be more careful about having a pet around a younger than 5 years old child.<\/p>\n Your kid might tug on your pet\u2019s tail which might cause it to bite; a baby might swallow a pet\u2019s toy; your pet might eat from your kid’s plate\u2026 However, all of these incidents can be avoided easily, if you\u2019re watching over them.<\/p>\n Do pets carry diseases and infections? Yes! HOWEVER, if you keep a hygienic environment and provide the pet with all of its vaccines, and you make sure your child understands the importance of hygiene around pets then no need to worry.<\/p>\n\n
