Benefits of having pets for kids

The Island

|

September 02, 2025

Children and pets have shared bonds for generations, and the benefits of this relationship often reach far beyond simple companionship.

For a child, growing up with a pet can nurture qualities and skills that will stay with them throughout life. Families who open their homes to animals frequently notice a transformation in their children's emotional well-being, social skills and even physical health.

One of the most immediate benefits is emotional support. Pets are often a child’s first true friend, offering unconditional affection and loyalty. A dog that greets a child with a wagging tail or a cat that curls up on their lap can bring immense comfort. For children navigating the stresses of school, friendships and growing responsibilities, such nonjudgmental companionship can provide a sense of security and stability.

Research has shown that children with pets often report lower levels of anxiety and loneliness, highlighting the unique comfort that animals bring.
