Pet Care

How our pets help us

Dogs can be trained to detect drugs, explosives and diseases such as cancer. Cats have incredible hearing and can detect higher frequencies of sound than humans or even dogs. And, rabbits can reach speeds of up to 50 miles per hour!

Owning a pet can keep you healthy by boosting your immune system and encouraging you to get regular exercise. Older people who regularly walk their dogs, walk faster and for longer periods, and have better mobility in their homes.

Growing up with pets may improve children’s social skills and encourages childhood responsibility. Pets can also encourage children to develop compassion, understanding and respect for living things.
