For all the dog lovers out there, there's a good news!! The new studies show that kids who spent time with their pups experience less anxiety and stress. Scientists recently set out to find whether having dogs as pets can help prevent obesity. But they came with another interesting discovery that kids with dogs in their homes really experienced less stress and depression.
While the finding might not amaze you, here we have the reports and findings to withstand this statement.
The researchers from Bassett Medical Center in NewYork conducted their study with 643 children aged 4-10 over an 18 month period and found that among 58% of children with a dog at home, 12% tested positive on a screening test for anxiety. While the rest 21% of children who didn't have dogs at home didn't show any improvements or any signs of positivity.
In a study published by the CDC, the researchers explained how all this works chemically. They say “Interacting with a friendly dog also reduces cortisol levels, most likely through oxytocin release, which lessens physiologic responses to stress”.
The study also noted that some kids even value the benefits they get from their friendships with dogs more than those received from other human relationships. From a study conducted among children aged 7 to 8, it was found that they valued pets higher than humans as providers of comfort and self esteem and as confidants.
Now, this is not just limited to children alone. Even the pet owners get benefited from their dogs. They are less likely to suffer from anxiety, depression and stress than non-pet owners. Pet therapy also improves a wide array of mental health disabilities, including mood swings, obsessive compulsive, post traumatic stress and other mental disorders.
Although the study was conducted to determine whether dogs can help to control obesity in children, the results for controlling anxiety and stress has helped millions of Americans get relief from their daily stress.
Just as dogs love us unconditionally, we share the same responsibility towards them. so here is a natural remedy to help them get rid of their anxiety and stress levels. PetCalm is one among them from pet well-being.
Pets and especially dogs are the best friends you get for in your lifetime. So you should definitely go adopt one as soon as possible.
