he University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine Research Center for Human-Animal Interaction (ReCHAI) stated that by have a "four footed furry animal" in your house can keep blood pressure lower, encourages exercise along with improves psychological health. Pets are believed to show unconditional love and may be part of answers to societal problems, such as inactivity and obesity.
For example, the older people who have dogs that need to get walked on a daily basis have improved their walking ability by 28% and the older people who only walked with humans only improved their walking capabilities by 4%. Humans walking with other humans tend to think of excuses as why not to go outside and walk, such as it's too hot or it's too windy, etc. Those who had a dog to walk, have to go outside for a walk regardless of the weather, their pet acts as that extra push some people need to go exercise.
