email excerpt worth noting as you explore this section:

>>> ... and remember that placebos and advertising has NO EFFECT on animals. That is what so opened our minds. If "it" helps an animal and there are visible results, relaxation, cessation of lameness, improved energy, appetite, muscle tone, coat condition, attitude, etc. then whatever it is WORKS."

Pets For YOUR Health: Every person who does not have a pet but who values their own health and longevity should know there is a mountain of evidence and clinical trials that show an immediate drop in blood pressure, heart rate and other critical body functions just when stroking a pet.  Long term studies have shown those who keep and care for pets experience prolonged life and better overall physical and mental health than those who do not! It seems directly related however to pets that can be held and stroked. Fish are great but the tactile benefits of stroking a pet are scientifically measurable.
