Kelly Bauer joins us to talk about the importance of pets and mental health. Special thanks to Lisa Wirth, who was on the podcast earlier to discuss a similar topic, but given that it is incredibly relevant and we wish to help destroy the stigma surrounding it, we are excited to continue this conversation with Kelly.
Kelly says:
“As we know in the animal welfare world, legislation is incredibly important - how we maintain laws and proper treatment of animals.”
“Approximately 3,000 more steps a day are taken by someone who owns a dog or walks a dog.”
“There is absolutely a direct correlation between owning an animal and taking care of one and your mental and physical health.”
“When you take on ownership of an animal, you are creating a sense of purpose for yourself.”
