If you do not have any particular dislike for four legged animals, pets can prove to be a great stress reliever. Many research have proven the stress relieving and relaxing abilities of having pets around you. The unconditional love offered by pets like dogs can only be appreciated by those who have owned them. They also give a tremendous boost to our self esteem. You can always count on your pet to be on your side even if the whole world is against you.

Apart from that, pets like dogs require one to take them for a regular walk, extending the benefit to us.

I have found that since getting my pet kitten, I have been able to relieve stress just by petting her and having her purr in my lap.

That can certainly help in the right circumstances. However I must be the unlucky one who actually had a pet that CAUSED me stress! I had the hardest to train cat ever, who kept pouncing on the baby. Nothing I did would make him stop-he was so jealous.

So he had to be re-housed because my stress levels went through the roof!

Very funny I particularly don't like cats. They always seem to have a sort of attitude problem - they seem to own you and not vice versa.

well, pets can be very good friends.
but about stress?
i am not sure.
but i have seen many pet owners being stressed about their pet,

but it is often observed that pets are found to be real and true friends.
and at least, they don't betray you, is not it?

many often people tend to go back to their pets while being alone and feeling abandoned by the human. but pets won't abandon you.
