Diabetes And Pets

May 23rd, 2008 by nburns

It is a  well known fact that having a pet can be good for your health, especially if you are diabetic.  Some of the complications diabetics face unfortunately are with heart, kidney, high blood pressure, just to name a few. Your pet wether it is a cat or dog can be beneficial to you in these areas.

Who better to take you on a daily walk than your dog.   No matter what the size, a dog needs exercise, and exercise is high on your priority list isn’t it?  A better companion you could not ask for.  They listen with such intent to all you have to say, and encourage you on.  My pet is a small  dog, has lots of energy and knows when it is “walk time”.  He is as set in his routine with me as I am.  Rain, shine, sleet snow, Rapper is always ready “to go”.

It is a proven fact that animals have a calming effect on people.  I know my “Rapper” senses if I am off color, or having a down day, and does his best  to get me going in a different direction.  Taking time out and just sitting and patting him does wonders.  I have three cats as well, and they are “ love to sit on your lap” kind, and love to purr.  Cuddles is a talker, and purrs the loudest.  At  night I go to sleep to her “music”.

Doctor say that listening to a cat purr can be good for the heart and blood pressure.  Sometimes we need motivation to keep our routine active, so we can enjoy that feeling of well being.  My pets help do this for me.  Stress times are fewer, I am calmer and don’t over react to situations, which helps keep my blood pressure in check.  All in all I feel  in many ways my  “pets are a big plus when it comes to managing my diabetes.

Having a well trained, obedient pet is even a bigger plus.  Alot of stress can be eliminated and it makes for a happy situation all around.  So far I have been fortunate, my pets have been easy to train., or so I thought until….. I came across this program of  Dog Obedience Training with SitStayFetch”.  It certainly gave  me new insight into solving your  dog’s behavior problems.  Looking closly  at my pet I realize “Rapper” is not perfect, and there are areas I could help him improve his behavior.

If you are thinking about a pet, do it “right”.Don’t waste time, look into this SitStayFetch: Kindom of Pets with Daniel Stevens.  I am receiving his free 6  Day course and what I have learned is amazing.  Try if for yourself, it will make for a happier home believe me.
