Having pets at home can relieve stress

thats true, i like reptiles but it's ilegal here so...

Hi braveheart! I agree. Pets can relieve stress. We usually have a dog as pet. Right now we have a dog and a rabbit. Someone stole our turtle. Our dog is named Max and our rabbit is named Sam. Whenever I arrive home, Max would come running to me excited for me to feed him. Sam is in a cage. He can't be let out because he goes anywhere but he doesn't know how to come back. But he is really cute especially when he eats. He's so adorable. Max is kinda annoying sometimes because he always follows me around and if I make him stay outside the house, he would bang the door until he opens it. But he is funny, too. He sleeps on the floor in a very funny position. And when you start to pat his head, he would immediately lie down and wait for you to stroke his stomach! It's really good to have pets around. They can relieve your stress and bad mood. I am actually planning to adopt one dog as an addition to the family. ^^

I couldn't live without pets. They are my life. As you can probably tell from my handle, cats rule my life.

Of all domesticated animals, I love dogs most as a pet.Yes, as you have said pets helps us to relive stress aside from the enjoyment for having one.Dogs I guess is the most faithful of all pets.You feed them or not (I mean forgotten to feed them)they are still wagging their tails every time he sees you.

I've had a lot of different animals growing up from rabbits to pigs to snakes and dogs, cats and fish. I am still an animal lover and know how they can help with stress. I like to watch my fish swim in my new pond and all the tadpoles going crazy. I do agility with my dog and that helps with stress and exercise. Also brushing him and just companionship from someone who is always by my side is nice.

I think that it depends on what pet you choose. I love animals but for example, having a dog causes stress for me instead, because you have to clean up after them too much, they break stuff, and eat a lot. but on smaller more peaceful pets like cats and some others like a guinea pig, then yes, they can help you feel relaxed, pets are just great companions that never leave you and always love you.

Fish are relaxing. Dogs like mine just add to the stress level. The three am choice of let the dog out or clean pee later doesn't help me relax at all.

yes, me too... i am definately an animal lover...I had ever fed some fishes when i was young...and i loved them so much, but now i have dog, cat in my house...ther are so cute and so adorable and always can make me stressless when i have a big stress in the working...they can make me feel so confortable and also can give a good time when playing with them...

yes i have a 3 cats and two dogs every time i come home from my work they they saw me and rum from me. im so happy that they help me to release my stress.

well for me a dog is enough a pet to breed for me, something that is useful in sense, surely having pets is nice along as you spent half of your time with it then its good, so far am a busy person so the time i spent with pets is less, i am a pet lover but duty calls, at times when in stress or other tension you can just forget those while enjoying your time with pets with you.

hi, i am pet lover person,and as of now i have 2 pets in my house,the turtle and 2 hamster,and i loved watching them and to play with them especially after my work,because they can release some stress i had,and i have to plan now to buy fishes because they are very nice when you will watch of them swim and swim in the water.

Studies have shown that living with pets can keep you healthy. Petting a cat or dog for example is a stress releiver and can help lower your blood pressure. I think the unconditional love we can receive from a dog is like no other in that a dog is always happy to see you and asks for little in return.

Me and my husband are also pet lovers. I have had fish, guinea pig and a dog. he have had chicken, parrot and dogs. When we got married, we have dogs and they are increasing in number since we did our first breeding. I think that they really relieve stress. My husband is working all day and he still have time to play with them and it is making him really happy. It is not easy caring for pets, but the joy of having them around to play with and love is a nice feeling.

I strongly agree with you have a pet can relieve stress and fatigue,I have ornamental fish see them swim and scramble to eat It really makes me so relaxed....^__*

Im from a pet lovin family. Ive always had pets. Presently i have 3 tailless cats. Manx. Miss Kitty Kat (mama), Miss Sissy Kat (daughter), Bubba Kat (son). I call them the 3 stooges sometimes. They certianly keep me amuzed. They each have their own personality. When people say cats dont show affection and Kitty wraps her arms arond my neck i know they dont know what they are talking about.

That is really true. My previous work is so stressful and my dogs help me a lot to remove my stress. Every time I will go to work, I feel so stressed already. But when I'm on my way home, I'm so happy because I will be with my dogs already.
