According to the 2015/2016 APPA National Pet Owners Survey,
79.7 million U.S. households own a pet. The survey concluded that 65% of homes
have at least one pet while 35% of those have more than one. With so much pet
ownership, it’s no wonder that retail pet supply sales are close to $44
billion, showing that the pet industry has barely been affected by the recent
economic slump. This gives OPCO the opportunity it needs to progress with an
ever-expanding pet supply market. The company focuses on creating supplies for
our beloved pets that promote growth, development, and health. Since
domesticated dogs and cats are like members of the family, it’s important to
maintain their health and vitality. Furthermore, as recent research suggests,
pets can provide just as much health and mental benefits as their owners can.
One benefit of having a pet in a household is, surprisingly,
a lower rate of allergens. According to an article by James E. Gern in the
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, children exposed to pets early tend
to develop healthier immune systems while lowering the likelihood of being
allergic to similar allergens.
Another advantage of having a pet is increased physical
health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National
Institute of Health (NIH) have stated that owning a pet, specifically a dog,
decreases blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, thus minimizing
heart attack risks. Dogs can be the equivalent to a personal trainer, taking
owners for jogs, walks, bike rides, and more. People who take their dogs for
walks are also less likely to be obese.
Owning a pet isn’t just good for the body, it can also be a
mood booster. Dogs and cats provide unconditional love while giving their
owners a sense of purpose in life. Pets can also combat loneliness by being a
constant companion at home. Pets can even improve social skills and confidence
by being an icebreaker for potential friends out in the park, an outdoor café,
and obedience classes.
OPCO provides tools and supplies to make sure pets get the
best care. The correlation between owning a pet and personal wellness is no
secret and should be remembered when taking care of our furry companions.
