PROFESSIONAL, CARING STAFF Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Come one, Come All!!! Red Barn Veterinary Service is proud to sponsor an event inspired by Kansas Extension Service’s Walk Across Kansas and Thrive Allen County’s Move programs, called “Pet Play Everyday�. For 28 days, 4 weeks, pet owners are invited to make a commitment to play, walk, groom or otherwise actively interact with their pets. We will open with a kick-off event Saturday morning, May 17th, with a pet registration, a “Dog Trot Poker Run� to get everyone’s tail wagging, and an opportunity to weigh the pets and receive “Pet Play Everyday� water bottles, tennis balls and Hill’s Metabolic diet totes, filled with dry food, a couple of cans of food, informational materials and coupons. For those playing poker, prizes of pet toys will be awarded for the best hands played. At registration, you will receive a pamphlet that your family can use to log your “Pet Play Everyday�. Upon completion of the program, after 28 days, when you return your log, your pet will be registered for prizes and rewards. Red Barn Vets will try to post facebook and website tips for appropriate activities and expectations for the variety of species, breeds, ages and weights of pets and answer participants questions. Feel free to visit the office for advice relating to the “Pet Play Everyday� program and interim weigh-ins. 12 Ways Pets Improve Your Health 1. Pets may lower your cholesterol. If you own a dog, those daily walks are helping to keep your cholesterol in check. 2.Pets help relieve stress. Simply being in the same room as your pet can have a calming effect. Oxytocin is released which brings feelings of joy. A decrease in a stress hormone called cortisol aids in stress relief. 3. Pets may reduce your blood pressure. Petting your pooch or kitty brings down blood pressure while pleasing your pet. 4. Pets boost your fitness. A study found that people who walked with dogs improved their fitness more than people who walked with other people. Dog owners were found to walk 300 minutes a week compared to people who didn’t own dogs who walked 168 minutes a week. 5. Pets reduce your cardiovascular disease risk. Lower cholesterol, stress and blood pressure combined with increased fitness may add up to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. 6. Pets may prevent allergies in children. A study showed that children who were exposed to pets before they were 6 months old were less likely to develop allergic diseases, hay fever and eczema as they got older. 7. Pets relieve depression. Pets can provide social support for their owners, who tend to have better overall well being than non-owners. 8. Pets ease chronic pain. Having pets around the house can help distract from chronic pain. Petting your animal releases endorphins which are powerful pain relievers. 9. Pets improve relationships. Young adults with a deep bond to their pets felt more connected in their relationships and to their communities than those who did not have animals. 10. Pets monitor health changes. Pets can sense when you are experiencing physical changes such as low blood sugar or changes in your brain that will trigger a seizure. 11. Pets boost your self esteem. Pets are completely non-judgmental, don’t have an agenda, take you at face value and they don’t care what you look like or how you behave. 12. Pets bring your family closer together. A pet is good for the whole family. They help family members work together in caring for a pet. Kids learn how to treat others with kindness and caring and they teach responsibility. It is often a child’s first death experience which can be a teachable moment. Consult the veterinarians at
