Owning a pet is as much about receiving and giving, and the reality is some pets are more loving pets than others (looking at you, certain breeds of cat!).
Yet which comes out on top among the loving pets in the UK?
It’s well-known that affection and company are vital for everyone, from the elderly and vulnerable to children and lonely individuals.
There is an accepted form of treatment, known as Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT), that raises human mood and wellbeing, and can be achieved using the very smallest creatures (even garden critters), right the way up to the biggest (the popularity of Equine Massage Therapy).
And while the benefits drawn are noted for the positive impact on people, our pets quite enjoy it as well, offering companionship that is invaluable.
