Pets Are Family Too

Home Care Path www.homecarepath.com knows animals are more than just companions for the home.  Pets are family.  Pets help keep us healthy and well. 

Plenty of research (Pets for the elderly foundation) demonstrates those who care for a pet tend to have better blood pressure values, less emotional depression, and a stonger sense of security.  Pet owners tend to need less visits to the medical clinic. 

Pets have been shown to help family's with the greif process when a loved one passes.  Elderly with pets tend to make friends easier. 

Just caring for an animal involves tasks that are healthy for seniors.  Animals tend to need daily help with walking, feeding, grooming, toileting, and benefit from lots of petting and playing.  All these tasks require action by the owner.  Pets can make daily acitivity fun. 

A trip to the vets office or to the pet park is a social outing for both the senior and the animal.  Pets are family and belong in our communities.
