A new study finds that people who sleep with their pets may be at risk for parasites and diseases - even pestilence. "A surprising 56 per cent of dog owners sleep with their dog next to them," says the University of California (Davis) report. The sleepover percentage is higher for cat owners -62 per cent. The study includes observations about people and animals kissing and defeat each other, and the authors take a dim view of that for young children and the immunocompromised.
People have become seriously ill from vermin picked up by their pets, but the study concludes that it is uncommon with healthy pets. Not all people want their pets slumbering under -or on top of -the covers with them. But for others, there's no better way to get through the dark night, to soothe their anxieties and heartaches, than to cuddle with their canines and felines. This is really a matter for you and you’re Pets Animals to decide in the solitude of your bedroom.
