Emotional support guinea pigs

[Catherine]

Guinea pigs have joined a long line of animals that serve as support for people with anxiety and depression. The cute sounds and cheerful guinea pig natures really help people cope with life and feel better.

They are calling pets like these "panic Pets" because they help people get trough periods of panic. Some pets like dogs really do things to help people. Guinea pigs work their magic just by being piggies. There is something happy and relaxed about guinea pigs that people seem to pick up on. They give off a real sense of calm and for an anxious person that can really help. 

Guinea pigs also react so positively to every thing you do for them. Give them a carrot every day and they will be just as excited every day. Having something respond so positively to being cared for can really help a person feel better. They also need care and so they force people to keep doing things when they just want to give up. I think it is clear that we would all be better if we have pets and for some people it is the thing that keeps them going.
