10 Reasons a Dog Makes Your Life More Awesome

This post may contain affiliate links. Read full disclosure.

by RAKI WRIGHT

Have you been considering getting a dog but still unsure if it is the right move to take? Getting a dog is one of the best decisions you can make. Five Dog Care Tips for Busy PeopleCould you imagine a strong bond of friendship that lasts up to 20 years, creating a lifetime of memories? There a couple of reasons why you should get a dog and we’re going to highlight some of them.

Improving Mood Dramatically

Research has shown that spending just 15 minutes with a pet can help you relax and handle anxiety. Playing with your pet can help to increase the serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain. The two components are responsible for altering mood and helping with tranquility. The next time you’re feeling a little bit down, call your puppy over for a cuddling session.

Reduces Risk of Cardiovascular Disease

Studies have shown that cuddling and talking to your dog helps in reducing blood pressure. This will mean that the risks of a myriad of illnesses are reduced. Dogs are also known to provide protection from skin conditions and allergens. They can easily sense when the air is contaminated because of their strong sense of smell which is unlike other animals.

Improves Physical Wellbeing

Your dog will need to go out for a walk almost on a daily basis. This means that you will also have to engage in physical activity. You will be keeping fit whether you like it or not. There are some dogs that are known to be a handful and a lot of work will be required to keep them. This will sometimes mean that you’re physically exhausted at the end of the day which is something that is not bad in the grand scheme of things.

Easy to Recover From Illness

Studies have shown that those with dogs can easily recover from an illness compared to those who don’t. A person that has suffered a heart attack is twice as likely to recover compared to someone that doesn’t have a dog.

Excellent Service Animals

Dogs that are properly trained can make exceptional service animals. There is a reason why dogs are used by veterans and those living with a disability. They can help in bringing medication and even calming down humans which is unheard of with other animals. There are dogs that can detect if there is an epileptic seizure.

Man’s Best Friend

Ever since the beginning of time, dogs have been known to be a man’s best friend. They’re loyal to their owners even when they’ve been mistreated. Show him how much you love him with a dog hoodie. It is not common to get such a special bond even among humans. A dog doesn’t have to speak for you to know they’ve got your back. They do so in their actions on a daily basis.  You will be getting a great companion for the next 20 years which is something that has become rare in the current age.

Helps in Improving Social Interaction

Dogs don’t discriminate who they interact with as long as the rapport is there. When you’ve taken your best friend for a walk, you might be forced to interact with other people. This can be particularly helpful for introverts who find it hard to associate with other people.

There is a Never a Dull Moment

For anyone that has owned a dog for a long time, there is never a dull moment. Your puppy will always be up to something. You get to learn or experience something new every time which can be great for a family setting.

Dogs Can Save Your Life

Did you know that dogs can smell cancer in the human body? There have been stories of dogs continuously licking their owners only for the lumps and moles to turn cancerous. There are some dogs that are being used to detect cancer and they do so with almost 100% accuracy.

You Become More Awesome

This goes without saying that a person with a dog becomes more awesome automatically. Your friends will always want to come to your place to pet the dog. It is easy to score with the opposite sex when you have your puppy with you.

To Sum it Up

If you’re still undecided, we hope the reasons we’ve mentioned have persuaded you to change your mind. You just have to make sure you’re getting the right breeder when searching for puppies for sale. You don’t want to be working with someone that runs the operations from the back of the van.

    It’s basically just an enlarged clit, which is bigger than the penis. Hyenas also have no external vagina, so they invert the clit to have sex. They also give birth through it, where it can sometimes tear. It’s usually twins, and they will fight to the death when they are born. Tra

    Business Relationships are the broad primary outcomes towards which effort and actions are directed in a business. They are whats, not hows and a business might have multiple goals to achieve. For example, “we must be a leader player and increase our share in the home loan market”. Normally there is no measurement in the definition of a goal and only gives you the general direction of the company.

    Thrills, excitement. The beauty of Test cricket is incomparable. That beauty at Lord’s captivated the spectators in the India-England Test. bangladiary sports. After a great fight, Virat Kohli’s India picked up a great victory in the last hour. They went ahead 1-0 in the five-match series with a 151-run victory.The game of the day was left with only 6 overs. India need 1 wicket. Will England’s last pair of James Anderson and Mark Wood be able to save the team? Just a few overs, was not impossible. However, Mohammad Siraj did not allow the English to fulfill that dream. Anderson’s stamp broke in a great delivery. Kohli & Co. are drunk.In the first innings, India scored 364 runs with 129 runs by Lokesh Rahul and 63 runs by Rohit Sharma. In reply, England scored 391 runs in an epic 180-run unbeaten innings by Joe Root.

    Pet health care is really good. Great blog… A frightened dog prefers to run away from the owner. Lack of training is solely responsible for the exhibition of such behavior. So, training is really essential which helps a pet to understand certain signs and sounds developed by the owner.how much does it cost to buy a maltipoo

    Children who don’t have a ton of interaction with real animals as pets or during other activities are still taught to connect to them through different forms of entertainment. For this reason, children are naturally interested in animal companionship in one way or another. Dogs

    Interesting idea, but the dog will eventually lose interest if he isn’t able to catch the hot dog once in a while. It’s the same thing with toy rope tug of war; you have to let them win sometimes.dogs for sale
