The soothing sound of a purring cat or the feeling of being with “man’s best friend” huddled on our feet ensures that one sits, calm and at ease, hence it is probably not surprising that having a pet helps relieve stress And anxiety.
A study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2015 found that children who had dogs as pets were significantly less likely to test positive for an anxiety test.
Another 2017 study published in the Social Development magazine concluded that children who had a dog as a pet had lower levels of cortisol, the “stress hormone” when interacting with their four-legged companions. Riding or caring for horses also proved to be good anti-stress therapy, according to another study published in the University of Washington’s Human-Animal Interaction Bulletin.
