American Heart Association Survey Results - Our PETS Relieve STRESS!

Can WELLBEING be enhanced through our PETS?

​The American Heart Association released a survey that found 95% of pet parents rely on the pet for stress relief. Dr. Glenn Levine, Professor of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and Chief of Cardiology at the DeBakey VA Medical Center, was the lead author. "Lily" was purchased from us by Dr. Paul Klotman, President, Baylor College of Medicine, in October, 2019 just before COVID19 hit. She became what he described as Baylor’s “therapy dog.” She accompanies him to work every day and appears with him during his weekly BCM YouTube updates! Her “niece,” Lucy, lives in Durham, NC with her “mom,” Dr. Mary Klotman, Vice Chancellor and Dean of Duke University School of Medicine. ​
