Did you know that babies who grow up around animals tend to have stronger immune systems? Exposure to pets, especially in the early stages of life, helps their bodies build a natural defense against allergies and infections.
Animals introduce a variety of germs that actually help the immune system learn to respond better, making kids less likely to develop certain illnesses as they get older.
Plus, the bond with animals can have other health benefits too, like reducing stress and improving mood- trust me I kkow the last one from experience ;)
