If there’s one group that’s managed to thrive during the health crisis, it’s pets. Pets are happy to have us home more. We get to hang out with our furry friends. It may not seem like much to some, but it’s one of the few bright spots we’ve been afforded lately.
There’s data to prove that pets are making the health crisis more bearable for their humans. Gallant, the company that banks stem cells for dogs during their spay and neuter procedures so they can live healthier and happier lives, conducted a survey of 1,000 American pet parents. The goal was to find out how pets and pet parents have been faring during recent months.
The great news is that adoption is on the rise. In fact, most of the pet parents who have welcomed a new furry friend to their brood weren’t planning on it before the health crisis. It’s a spontaneous decision that’s proven to have countless benefits for many families and individuals.
