Sleeping with your pets / Risks and benefits

Sleeping with your dog, cat or pets is an ancient custom, as humans and animals have benefited from each other's company, especially to fight off the cold.

However, the benefits of sleeping with your pet go beyond trying to maintain an ideal body temperature.

In fact, being close to pets appears to have benefits in addition to the health risks it can bring.

The benefits of sleeping with your dog, cat or pet

Feeling them close at night is therapeutic: the presence of a dog or cat can, in fact, reduce levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, and generate a sense of well-being and relaxation. 

Sleeping with them also gives you the feeling of protection, safety and calmness.

Dogs see their owners as beings to be loved and protected. While for cats, sharing the bed is for comfort and warmth. Nor for reptiles, it is better to avoid them.

The dangers of sleeping with pets

Parasites and fleas are one of the concerns that your pets can bring you, so it is good to use pesticides from time to time and clean the parasites from the body of your pets. You should also check them for the possible presence of ticks.

Another risk is respiratory diseases. You should always take your pets to a veterinarian and have them have the necessary visits or tests./ CNA
