Why Every Senior Living Alone Needs A Pet (It’s Not What You Think)

Описание: Living alone after 60 can feel quiet in a way that slowly drains your energy—without you even noticing.
In this video, Dr. Harper explains why the right pet isn’t just “company”… it can restore daily rhythm, calm your nervous system, and gently pull you back into the world—one small moment at a time.

But we’ll also talk about the honest truth: not every pet is right for every senior, and choosing safely is a form of wisdom—not weakness.

If you live alone, comment just one word: DOG, CAT, or NOT READY. No explanation needed. You’re not alone here.

What you’ll learn:
Why loneliness affects health more than most people realize
The “hidden medicine” pets provide: routine, calm, and purpose
10 surprising ways pets can ease senior solitude
A safe, practical framework to choose the right pet for your life
What to do if you can’t own a pet (still works—no guilt)
