After a long, hard day on the job, there’s nothing like a loving tail-wag or an empathetic purr to help you feel at peace.
Pet owners will tell you that their dogs and cats help them de-stress and feel good, and there’s science to back those claims: Studies have shown owning a pet makes you more likely to be happy and have a better sense of self. An office dog might even help to lower workers’ stress.
Those with pets at home could also have a lower risk for dying after a heart attack, better ability to stabilize blood pressure in response to stress and a more adaptable heart rate.
