Do you feel happy, calm, less anxious and relaxed when you are with your pet? We all know the answer to this. None of us can deny the positive vibes we get from our fur babies. Not only the positive vibes but they also enrich our lives with emotional support and companionship. They can be your best pals and also can be a part of your family.
Pets have a magic wand that takes away all of our sadness and loneliness. We all go through the unpleasant state of loneliness due to the workload or often after a tough breakup. This loneliness can be discouraging and can be depressive which ultimately leads to poor mental health. But, fortunately our fluffy tuffy pals can help us beat those lonely feelings. They are the best listeners and the best cuddlers on the planet. They will love to spend time with you and will love you to the moon and back.
Are you wondering what are some types of support animals? We are here to your rescue (no pun intended)!
All domestic animals: cats, dogs, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, ferrets, birds help ease the symptoms of emotional or mental disability and are qualified as Emotional Support Animals (ESAs). Your young puppies and kittens could be your emotional support animals as well as your favorite bird. Emotional support animals do not need any specific training they just have to provide love, affection and care to you.
DOGS: Who does not love dogs? They are the most loyal and excited creatures that enrich our lives. All breeds of dogs can provide help to people suffering with low mental health. According to the research, out of all the other animals, dogs understand and communicate with humans the most. They teach people how to love, care and appreciate life.- CATS: Not only dogs but cats also are the most common emotional support animals. The cute grumpy cats are very loveable, give peace to their owners and help them emotionally. They love their humans unconditionally by following you from room to room, slow blinks, purrs and meows, love bites, etc. These furballs serve as a great emotional support animal.
- RABBITS: Other than cats and dogs, the quiet, shy and fuzzy rabbits are extremely loving animals and social butterflies. Less interaction makes humans bored, just like that, rabbits without interacting with humans get bored, and not only bored but they become lonely and depressed. There is nothing better than getting a rabbit as your emotional support animal as they will make you look at the world differently.
BIRDS: Who ever thought that cute colorful chatterbox could provide many mental health benefits and emotional support to humans? Birds are not the first thing to pop up in mind when we think about a companion, but birds will always be there for you and will always respond with a song or a chirp.. Birds are super intelligent creatures and voila you can even train your bird how to speak (parrot or parakeet anyone?). So,the next time whenever you feel a little down and want someone to talk to you, go directly to your winged two-legged friends- HORSES: If you are craving for a long-lasting bond, then get (or visit) an adorable, cute, social, and playful animal creatures – horses!
