Do you feel like you are starting to give in? Adding a fluffy friend to the
family may be more beneficial than you realise. Growing up with a family pet is
something that can help children in many different ways. So, let’s take a look
at the benefits in further detail…

sense that the animal is unconditional in their affection and love, and this
can really help a child to feel at ease.
