2018House Pets - Set

House Pets such as those illustrated on our stamps are kept primarily for a person’s company, protection or entertainment. The most popular house pets are known to be the dogs and cats.
However, other animals commonly kept also include: rabbits, tortoise, freshwater fish, parrots, birds, hamsters and guinea pigs to mention a few.
Pets provide their owners both physical and emotional benefits. Walking a dog can provide both the human and the dog with exercise, fresh air and social interaction. Pets can give companionship to people who are living alone or elderly adults who do not have adequate social interaction with other people. Owning a pet can decrease depression, stress and anxiety. Health-wise, it can lower your blood pressure, improve your immunity and even decrease your risk of heart attack, stroke and can help fight cancer. Please know that having a pet brings responsibility by means of medical attention, food and time. So if you want to have a lot of benefits and if you are willing to take full responsibility perhaps you should think about having a beautiful pet.
