5 Pet Parents Tell Us How Their Fur Babies Changed Their Lives

Talk to any pet parent and they will inevitably bring up the topic of their furry children. This is because they are in absolute love with their pets. They enjoy pampering their animals, and they often go out of their way to spend a lot of money on them. If you ask them why? They'll all reply with 'Because they deserve it'.

Take a look at what 5 pet owners shared with us about how their pet babies changed their life for good:

1. A Friend Who Is There For Me At All Times

“I've always wanted a dog that would be more of a friend than just a pet. When I got Maxii around 5 years back, I was super happy! She changed my life in a lot of positive ways. Whenever I felt like being away from people or certain situations, I just sat next to her and she would put her paw on my hand asking me to pet her and I would just keep talking and petting her. These moments just felt right because I knew she understood how I was feeling and was there for me whenever I needed a friend. It's true that when I needed a hand I found her paw and it was all that I could ask for. Maxii holds a very special place in my heart and I will always love her immensely”

2. A Stress Buster

During the worst phase of the pandemic, came a little bundle of joy the size of a small toy. Muffin was my birthday present who has now turned into a true ambassador of love. Just looking at his sparkling eyes makes my stress go away. He helped me to endure the worst pandemic days. Even now, whenever I feel overly stressed, I play with him. For me, simply looking at his sparking eyes works as a wonderful stress reliever.

3. Unconditional Love

“I know someone is waiting for me at home without any motives. This makes me want to go home ASAP everyday! He loves me without any condition, no matter what I say or how loud I yell at him. Even when my mood is off or am upset with something, he does cute stuff that makes me forget all the worries. He makes me feel important and never lets me feel lonely ever since he entered my home.”

4. Happier Environment

"Getting a pet is a lot of work both at first and throughout. But it's like the best thing that can happen to anyone. For me, the whole environment of the home changed after his arrival at home. He makes my entire family happier and keeps the stress level down. Small things, like your puppy waiting for you when you get home, waving his tail, and knowing that he loves you more than himself, are extraordinary feelings that can greatly lower stress levels and lighten the atmosphere. His presence in my house has resulted in everyone being less serious and more happier."

- Niharika Singh, pet parent of Toffee

5. Made Me A Responsible Adult

“I got my dog when I was 15 years old, and that was when my life really began to change. Prior to that, I didn’t care much about animals, but after we got my dog home, I started caring about all animals, including stray animals. The little things he did, like wagging his tail and yawning cutely, made me smile. I love getting him little presents like toy bones and enjoy seeing how excitedly he plays with them. All I want to say is that before my dog, I was just a kid, but he helped me grow into a mature adult.”

-Kunal Singh, pet parent of Tuffi
