In recent days, a leading mental health company, Calm, with numerous pet food brands such as Royal pet foods, Maestro, Hebao and Eikena, published a global survey on pet relationships conducted by YouGov. As part of a global multi-year research programme, Pets and Well-being Study, the survey covered over 30,000 pets in 20 countries and territories worldwide. Surveys show that 83 per cent of respondents globally consider pets to be beneficial to mental health and further reveal the many effects of pet dogs on human mental health and well-being.
The study explores the deep connection between human petation and how it has become an important force for daily well-being. Dr. Tammie King, a pet relationship specialist and senior research manager at the Wilhelm Institute of Caring Sciences under the Marx flag, said: “We all love our pets, but often we ignore the feedback they bring us.”
In many areas of research, respondents in China showed more positive feedback:
Sixty-seven per cent of respondents said that talking to pets or listening to pets would calm them down; 70 per cent thought that the company of pets was a relief.
Patients also played an active role in promoting rest and good habits, with up to 90 per cent of respondents indicating that they had temporarily dropped out of work, housework or other tasks for pets; 89 per cent indicating that pets encouraged them to stay away from the screen
The pets helped to reduce emotional disturbances, with 88 per cent of respondents saying that they helped them focus more on the moment.
Sleep quality as an important indicator of mental health also benefits from the company of pets, which 67 per cent of respondents believe have a positive impact on their sleep.
Based on the unique bond of affection, Marx has been expanding multidimensional public-interest cooperation and social initiatives to bring the well-being of people and pets to fruition.
In the daily life scene, the Royal Patient Foods, in partnership with the public, has launched a “Pet-Friendly Play Map” covering six cities across the country, which facilitates the pets' escort. At the same time, Ma ' s pet nutrition, which combines different business practices to promote the “hot life” project, has landed in two cities, Beijing and Tianjin, enabling nearly 40 pet friendly businesses to help pets and pets to share the friendly atmosphere of the city's business community more widely and to promote their companionship.
