How a Pet Play an Important Role in Our Life?

Will Post, founder of Hound & Gatos Pet Foods Corporation, says that many people underestimate the importance of having a pet in your life. "Pets play a very important role in enriching our lives in many different ways."

It is not surprising that so many people have a pet. The pet can be dog, cat etc. We know that they play an important role in our life. We don't feel lonely when we have them.

To have a pet in our life, firstly we have to choose which pet want to have like cat or dog. Let's say you want to adopt an animal. 

It depends on how much you know about cats and if you have had experience with them before. Let's suppose you don't know anything about cats and have never owned one.

Unless someone has previous experience with cats and is aware of the time, care and attention a kitten needs, I'd usually urge them to consider adopting an adult cat, but whether to adopt a kitten, a young cat or a more mature kitty depends more upon you and your particular circumstances and expectations than upon the cat herself. Adopting a cat, especially if it's your first time, can be stressful. You will need to spend time with your cat to help her adjust to her new surroundings. It is important to think about the future. Can you commit to a kitten for the next twenty years?Young cats of about seven months or more still need a great deal of care and attention, but they've (hopefully) learned the basics of eating, toileting and keeping themselves clean. They're just as - if not more! - playful as kittens, and are yet to gain the experience of their wider environment. After settling into their new home they can be left alone for short periods, and even though stressed cats in need of permanent homes often behave differently, you'll have some indication as to their personality type before adoption. It is difficult to predict if a kitten will become a shy or bold cat. However, if your home has regular visitors and is active, it is possible to adopt a cat with more bold genes.

Here are some important roles pets play in our lives:

Health. The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) states that pets can lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. They can help people live healthier lives.

Loneliness. Having a pet also reduces feelings of loneliness, and increases pet shop toys opportunities for socialization. Pets are great for keeping people connected.

Recovery. There have been several studies conducted that show pets can help those who have chronic illness or are in rehabilitation. A recent study in the journal Rehabilitation Nursing reported that incorporating animal-assisted therapy in acute rehabilitation settings helps patients obtain greater satisfaction.
