Benefits For Pets Who Sleep With Owner

(Undated) — Doctors are talking about the benefits for pets who sleep with their humans.

Varble adds, “Dogs and cats who are more closely bonded with their humans get additional health benefits, including increases in beneficial neurotransmitters such as oxytocin and dopamine, the feel-good hormones.
