Our pets make us happy and are the best kind of company. Fluffy friends encourage us to get outside in the fresh air, which can even prompt socializing. They also need us to care for them, which in turn gives us, their sole caregivers, much responsibility. For some elderly folks, feeling needed can be just what the doctor ordered.

According to a recent study published by the National Library of Medicine, researchers explored the influence that pets had on adults who were dealing with Alzheimer’s, over a five-year period. The results reveal substantial positive effects pets have on their humans. The data also concludes that pets may help everyday activity and actually slow down the advancement of Alzheimer’s.
