A quick disclaimer: Owning a dog is always cool, but especially so during the holidays.
This article will show you why.
Increased activity
Why do many doctors, particularly nutritionists, frown when they hear about New Year's holidays? The answer lies in two words: gluttony and laziness.
And indeed, some people, a significant number at that, spend their weekends eating salads in front of the TV.
But there are also those who can only dream of this pastime – dog owners, since their restless pets need regular walks and physical exercise.
New acquaintances
Not all adults find it easy to make a new friend, so this desire often appears on New Year's goal lists.
Walking your dog gives you the opportunity to make friends or even your soulmate – just try going somewhere new or meeting other dog owners.
Good mood
The end of the New Year holidays is akin to depression, as we are overcome with sadness due to missed gifts, the end of the holiday and other minor troubles.
However, there is a way to overcome this problem – spend time with your dog. Just 15 minutes of communication with your pet will make you feel your mood improve and all your problems will fade into the background. This has been proven by scientific studies that have shown that communication with a dog stimulates the production of dopamine and serotonin, which leads to an improved mood and a feeling of happiness, all thanks to your four-legged friend.
