Why are pets beneficial to older people?

There are many benefits to older people of owning and caring for a pet, such as a bird, cat or even a dog.


These include: 

Companionship - especially for those living alone,

Reduced stress - studies show that just petting or talking to a pet reduces cortisol levels in humans,

Increased positivity and sense of purpose - with the tasks that come with caring for an animal,

Exercise - a gentle daily calk with a dog can improve mood and reduce stiffness in joints.
