- Mikki are the Proud Sponsors of National Grooming Week in Conjunction With National Pet Month 24th April - 1st May 2010

Mikki, sponsors of National Grooming Week, recognise that the bond between people and animals is a strong one and one which can actually benefit any pet owner. Recent research carried out suggests that owning a pet can help reduce stress levels in humans in a way only they know how!

Renowned for playing a major role in lowering symptoms of tension, research also suggests that owning pets has direct body effects which often result in reducing blood pressure, lowering of the heart rate and decreased muscular tension.

Pets provide stress reducing effects for a number of reasons. If we feed and properly pay attention to our pets, they in turn will show us the unconditional love and affection most pet owners crave. This consistency, predictability and unconditional love can be quite comforting and stress reducing when people feel as if everything is out of control or continuously changing around them. Individuals who have pets tend to feel less lonely, less isolated and less depressed, and therefore less stressed!

Although there are many ways in which animals can come as a welcome distraction from the toils of the working day, be it taking the dog for a walk in the evening or simply spending time bonding with your precious pet, being a pet owner can also directly improve our moods.

For those who love animals, it's virtually impossible to stay in a bad mood when a pair of loving puppy eyes meets yours, or when a super-soft cat rubs up against your hand. Most people receive a sense of satisfaction, fulfilment and competence from taking care of a pet. Feeding, grooming and otherwise caring for a pet is a form of nurturing and giving excellent care to family pets. This, together with spending quality time with them, contributes to a general sense of well-being.

Return some of that love and respect they deserve by combining grooming with bonding, showing your pet just how much you care by pampering them in a way only Mikki knows how!
