Whatever the reason, the holidays can be challenging, but pets can have a positive impact on the mental health of their favorite people\u2014and there is scientific evidence to back it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/\">Beverly Hills Veterinary Associates<\/a>, we celebrate the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/human-animal-bond\/\">human-animal bond<\/a> and all the ways in which pets enhance our lives. Whether you already have a fur baby (or two!) or you\u2019re considering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/a-home-for-the-holidays-what-to-know-about-holiday-pet-adoption\/\">pet adoption during the holidays<\/a>, read on to learn more about pets and mental health benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pets and Mental Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The science behind our pets and holiday stress reduction is undeniable. Being a pet parent provides emotional, mental, and physical benefits, and here are five fabulous reasons why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Puppy Love is the Best Medicine<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The act of looking into a pet\u2019s eyes triggers the release of oxytocin, otherwise known as the \u201clove hormone.\u201d This particular hormone can ease feelings of anxiety and depression.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cuddling with pets also reduces cortisol production, which lowers our stress response.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Petting or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/more-than-just-a-pretty-face-the-art-of-home-pet-grooming\/\">brushing a pet<\/a> can lower blood pressure and boost the brain\u2019s production of dopamine and serotonin, both of which induce feelings of positivity.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>They Need Us as Much as We Need Them<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Pets need TLC every day, and that shifts our focus away from our own needs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/nutritional-counseling-for-pets\/\">Feeding<\/a>, caring for and cleaning up after another living thing give us a sense of purpose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li>Their Love is All Around Us<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Pets love unconditionally, provide a steady stream of pure enjoyment, and let\u2019s face it, it\u2019s hard to feel lonely when being smothered in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/what-could-possibly-explain-why-your-dog-licks-your-ears\/\">puppy dog kisses<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\">\n<li>They Make Us Move<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>More exercise equals less stress, and nothing inspires people to move like keeping pets entertained. This holiday season, find new ways to move with your pet. Treat your dog to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/michigan-wildlife-encounters-keeping-your-pet-safe-from-wild-animals-in-the-fall\/\">winter hike<\/a>, create an obstacle course in the snow, or play hide-and-seek the treats with your pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\">\n<li>Pets and Seasonal Depression<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>When the days get shorter, it disrupts our circadian rhythm, which can cause a dip in energy and trigger hormonal changes that make us moody. Having a pet can keep us motivated to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/its-lovely-and-less-crowded-but-walking-your-dog-at-night-may-be-risky\/\">get outside<\/a> as much as possible, even when Jack Frost is nipping at our noses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pets and Holiday Stress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s one thing about the holidays we don\u2019t need to stress about, it\u2019s knowing that our pets are always ready to provide us with comfort and affection.
