In fact, it\u2019s estimated that over 11 million households in the United States alone have gotten new pets since the beginning of the pandemic. That\u2019s a crazy amount of dogs, cats, birds, you name it! Even the amount of foster pets has gone up significantly, to the tune of 8 percent. One reason folks are acquiring new furry friends is that they\u2019re home more, so what better time to get that puppy or kitten you\u2019ve been promising the kids for the past decade? Additionally, there\u2019s research to support that owning a pet actually reduces anxiety\u2014something many Americans have in spades thanks to this global outbreak called COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While studies in the mental health effects of pets are still in the early stages, it has been reported by the <a href=\"https:\/\/newsinhealth.nih.gov\/2018\/02\/power-pets\">National Institutes of Health<\/a> that \u201cInteracting with animals has been shown to decrease levels of cortisol (a stress-related hormone) and lower blood pressure. Other studies have found that animals can reduce loneliness, increase feelings of social support, and boost your mood.\u201d Pets are also companions that can help us reach fitness goals. If we\u2019re taking the family dog out for a walk several times a day instead of hiring someone to come do it while we\u2019re at the office, that\u2019s some mileage we weren\u2019t otherwise putting on our sneakers. And increased physical activity is a mood-booster in itself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But has owning\u2014or fostering\u2014a pet done any good for anxiety during the pandemic? One would reason to say yes, but it\u2019s tough to gauge. On the one hand, we are turning to our pets to help us navigate this weird, stressful, scary scenario that\u2019s been playing out for over a year now. We rely on them more than ever, for everything from companionship to keeping us in a steady routine. There are probably some folks out there in a really bad mental place who might only be getting out of bed each day because of their responsibilities as a pet owner. We can\u2019t exactly physically touch another human these days, let alone hug them. But who always wants a hug? Or a belly rub, or chin scratch? The dog (or cat, guinea pig, turtle, whatever you got).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s tough to pin down numbers in support of the argument that pet ownership has reduced anxiety in people during lockdown, since it\u2019s only been a year (we know\u2026 \u201conly\u201d isn\u2019t a great word for it, but in the research world it\u2019s not long at all). One study in the U.K. found that over 86 percent of pet owners surveyed <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0239397\">reported<\/a> that their animals gave emotional support. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthyagingpoll.org\/report\/how-pets-contribute-healthy-aging\" class=\"broken_link\">National Poll on Healthy Aging<\/a> found that among older adults aged 50-80, nearly 80 percent said owning a pet helped reduce stress. And that was before COVID-19 hit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pet ownership has given a lot of people motivation, increased their physical activity, helped keep them in a routine, and provided the emotional support that so many of us are just not getting these days. We can reasonably conclude that having a fur baby around during this pandemic has done more good than harm\u2014especially for those prone to stress and anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Has your pet store experienced a surprising amount of growth this year?
