There are many benefits for people of all ages, including seniors, of owning a pet. Continuing to have pets in later life, and as you age, can be an essential element to promoting an active and healthy lifestyle. There’s nothing like coming home to a wagging tail and a smiling face.
Pets make such good companions because they are seen as dependable, loyal, and non-judgmental. No matter how active or inactive someone may be, pets are happy to spend time walking, eating, or just lounging on the couch. As long as they’re with the person they love, they are happy.
