Americans have 60 million dogs and 70 million cats. We spend $40 billion a year on pet care. What benefits do we get in exchange for our money?
Pet owners have:
· Better health due to lower stress hormones (cortisol),
· Less anxiety,
· Less fear,
· More social contact, and
· Children with higher self-esteem and lower levels of fear.
Shouldn’t pet owners get rebates on health insurance?
