Benefits of Pets: New Evidence
More Evidence
That Pets Are Good For Our Health
Having two or more
pets around the house can help boost the immune systems of infants
and prevent allergic reactions related to asthma later in life, a
study has found. The Journal of the American Medical Association
(Aug. 28, 2002) reports that of 474 infants studied from birth to age
six, one-third of children in pet-free homes or with one cat or dog
tested positive for sensitivities to common allergens, including pet
hair, dust mites and pollen. Only 15 percent of kids in homes with
two or more pets tested positive–almost half the amount.
Our furry family
members are also wonderfulcompanions that ease stress–and
they’re far moreentertaining than TV.
Thank you for
caring for your furry companions!
