April 11 is National Pet Day. Here are amazing pets that live right here in central New York.

Pets are a very important part of our family, and they're good for our health. Studies have shown that the bond between people and their pets can increase fitness, lower stress, and bring happiness to their owners. Some of the health benefits of having a pet include:

  • Decreased blood pressure
  • Decreased cholesterol levels
  • Decreased triglyceride levels
  • Decreased feelings of loneliness
  • Increased opportunities for exercise and outdoor activities
  • Increased opportunities for socialization

Check out the pictures we've received from pets in CNY. Keep them coming and we will do out best to continue adding them to the gallery.  Happy National Pet Day!
