Pets play big role in reducing stress


When pet grooming services were allowed to operate before Phase One of the NRP, many people sent their pets for full grooming.

PETS have the ability to help their owners de-stress and ease their tension, especially when they spend long hours at home during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Columbia Asia Hospital Iskandar Puteri general manager Dr Ding Eng Li said the companionship offered by pets could help to lessen mental health issues such as depression, anxiety disorders and pandemic fatigue.
