LOVE SOMETHING FURRY
Nothing compares to the unconditional love of a pet. Animals can help lower stress, reduce blood pressure, increase social contact and boost physical activity. Importantly, for older folks, pets can be a great source of comfort and companionship.
TIP Poodles are perfect. They’re super smart, don’t shed and love you like there’s no tomorrow. (Biased opinion? Never!)
