But what if you could make your retirement even more enjoyable? What if you could have a better quality of life during your golden years?
Well, studies show that owning a dog actually makes your retirement better! Here are just some of the ways that owning a dog can help improve your retirement:
- Dogs keep you more active. Whether it’s taking them for walks or playing fetch with them, having a dog around makes you more likely to stay active and healthy. And being active is one of the best ways to maintain good health in old age.
- Pet ownership can help ease depression, reduce stress, blood pressure, falls and hospitalization.
- And then there are all those social connections—we all know that people with pets tend to have more friends. What’s more, pet owners spend more time outside interacting with other humans than non-pet owners do.
