Pets can provide physical as well as emotional help for their owners, even helping to reduce the effects of aller- gies. It might seem strange that the very thing that causes allergies – pet dander – can actually end up reducing it, but it’s true. A study published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology showed that babies exposed to animals in their home developed stronger immune systems overall. Both Dr. Kahuda and Hecker said the species and breed do not matter when it comes to reducing stress. “They become family members and provide the connec- tion and sense of belonging that we as humans crave,” Dr. Kahuda said. Caring for an animal teaches the very valid lesson of be- ing selfless and realizing that someone depends on you for care and love. Many empty nesters find that owning a pet provides them with that sense of purpose again that parent- ing gave them for so many years. As Hecker put it, “What could be better for our mental health than knowing that just our existence creates so much happiness and love in someone else’s life?” And that, my friends, is why you get a pet – in case you were on the fence.
