Animals can prevent strokes

People who believe that only dogs can promote numerous health benefits compared to other animals are wrong! Cat owners should know that their beloved felines can improve their health conditions just like dogs. 

“If you have a cat, you’re 30 percent less likely to have a heart attack, and you’re 40 percent less likely to have a cardiovascular incident like a stroke. If you have a heart attack and you have a dog, you are [significantly more] likely to be alive a year later,” Dr. Becker says.
