April is National Pet month.
Caring for a pet can help our mental health in many ways, including:
 increasing your physical activity. Walking a dog can be a fun way to fit exercise into your routine
 providing companionship, giving a sense of security and someone to share the day with.
 reducing anxiety.
 boosting self-confidence. Pets can be great listeners, offer unconditional love and won’t criticise you.
 helping you meet new people.
 adding structure to your day.
If you don’t have a pet of your own you could help look after a friend’s or volunteer at a local animal shelter
