Research suggests that interacting with dogs may ease the body’s stress response, encourage walking and physical activity, and help some people cope with loneliness. Dog ownership has also been associated with lower risks of certain heart conditions and death, but this does not prove that dogs prevent disease. One review found that 82% of studies testing dog-related interventions reported changes in physical activity in their favor. A Swedish study involving more than 3.4 million people found an association between dog ownership and lower risks of some health problems. The article stresses that benefits vary depending on the dog’s behavior and the owner’s level of responsibility. Keeping a family safe requires veterinary care and regular vaccinations, handwashing, supervising children, and preventing dog saliva from contacting the mouth, eyes, or open wounds. After a bite or scratch, wash the wound with soap and water for at least 15 minutes and seek prompt medical assessment to determine whether rabies or tetanus prevention is needed.
