Dogs
- All pets can help peoples mental health, but dogs also help with physical health. There is lots of scientific research that shows people with dogs live longer healthier lives because dogs reduce their stress levels which lower their blood pressure and keep a more active than people who do not have dogs I got this from a recent Time magazine article see if you can find it on Google.
- Dogs are very helpful or as a cat will just ignore you.
- Dogs can have jobs like guide dogs, search and rescue dogs, police dogs and sheepdogs.
- Dogs are good companions will sit with you when you are watching telly or reading things like that.
- Dogs can be very playful when you are on walks or just in your garden or even your house.
- Dogs partly depend on you so there will be better behaved around you.
- Dogs are more cuddly towards you. You will quite often find dogs that will sit on your lap and get lots of pats from you.
- Dogs are very easy to train compared to cats.
Cats
- They sometimes kill wildlife or scare it away did you know that cats catch up to 100 million prey every year over the spring and summer 27 million of which are birds.
- Cats throw up furballs around your house so you have to clean up.
- Have you ever heard the phrase dogs have owners cats have staff? it basically means that dogs will respect you more and cats are only interested in you because you feed them and pet them
- Cats are also very difficult to train.
- You might say cats catch mice and rats but you can train dogs to do that too, for example Jack Russell’s were bred and often trained to catch mice and rats.
Conclusion
I have had both cats and dogs but prefer dogs because of their loyalty playfulness and helpfulness so, in conclusion, I think dogs are much better than cats.
