Other studies have shown that having a pet significantly lower blood pressure levels. Research has also  revealed many benefits, some of which may include: Decreased blood pressure and stress, improved communication and reminiscence. Pets may motivate and encourage the elderly to stay healthy and exercise, giving them a feeling of being ‘needed’. Motor skills may improve with the assistance of having a pet.
