Dr. Chheda – Pets are a great addition to any family. You know, whether it’s a dog, a cat, a turtle – you know, some people have rabbits, snakes – but pets are a great addition.

Kids love them. Kids can learn responsibility with them. The pets actually provide a sense of comfort. It’s been shown that petting animals can cause decreased blood pressure.

My cat sometimes does not appreciate being petted – he wanted to sleep – but it can decrease blood pressure and cause serenity and comfort. So pets are a wonderful addition to any family.
