What about the history of pet stores and aquatic fish shops? Clitheroe animal lovers may be interested to know that the earliest examples of pet shops catered mainly to birds in the 1840s. More than 100 years later in the 1960s there was the launch of the first national pet store franchise in America and the industry has grown exponentially since then. The pet food industry began when one day a man was watching sailors feeding dogs dry biscuits on the docks and from there decided to create commercial pet food that he would go on to sell to English gentleman to feed their sporting dogs.
There are many benefits to having a family pet. As many pets such as dogs and cats love to be outside then it helps to encourage children and the whole family to spend more time outdoors. Having a family pet helps to teach children responsibility especially as they can be given important but simple chores to do such as giving a pet his food and water or cleaning out the litter tray. This in turn helps a child to feel more confident and they have opportunity to create a bond with the animal. Pets give us unconditional love; this can often be all that one wants at the end of a busy day. Psychologists believe that children who have grown up with a family pet find it easy to forge stronger interpersonal relationships. Pets also provide many therapeutic benefits. The mere presence of an animal in the room can create feelings of calm reassurance and comfort. It has also been found that owning a pet can help reduce stress levels which in turn can assist in lowering blood pressure and can even reduce the risk of heart disease. The act of simply playing with a dog can increase levels of serotonin and dopamine, our happy hormones. Studies have shown that babies who are exposed to pets will have fewer coughs’ colds and infections because their immune systems become stronger from exposure to the small amounts of dirt and allergens carried on the animals.
There are indeed many benefits to having a household pet! Have you been searching for reliable pet stores or aquatic fish shops? Clitheroe based Ideal Pet Stores has a large range of household pets and we welcome you to come and visit us at your convenience.
