Relationships can be tricky, but there are some things that a worth looking for in a partner that could make them more rewarding. Obviously, you want someone with whom you share common interests and values, and someone who treats you well. You might want to add being an animal person to that list, though.
At West Park Animal Hospital, we already know that four-legged friends are the best, but check out why it’s so rewarding to love a pet lover.
Pets are Powerful
Chances are, if you are reading this, you have one or more pets in your life. By seeking to love a pet lover, you automatically are looking for a soulmate who has something in common with you. Animals can be the tie that binds, especially in a new, blossoming relationship.
Talking about your pets can be a great icebreaker and make awkward interactions less so. Trading crazy cat stories, taking your dogs on a walk, cuddling on the couch, or saying hello at the puppy playground can be a great way to make a connection with someone new.
Animals often have an innate and amazing sense of people. While you may not want to discount a potential mate if your cat snubs him or her, you might not want to overlook his or her opinion, either.
