Science is about to explore deeper what we've long believed: pets make our world better! We’re excited to support our parent company, Mars, in launching the Pets and Wellbeing Study (PAWS) program - a groundbreaking global multi-research initiative exploring how cats and dogs contribute to human mental health and well-being. Led by the Waltham Petcare Science Institute in partnership with leading universities, PAWS is set to be the largest international study program ever conducted on the mutual impact of human-animal interaction. It will examine the connection between pets and human mental health, providing deeper insights into how pet companionship affects well-being, including loneliness, stress, and anxiety. As part of this initiative, Mars has also partnered with Calm, a mental health company, to leverage their expertise in mental wellness. This multi-year study will engage 35,000 people across 20+ countries, delivering new scientific insights into the many ways pets enrich our lives. Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/e8uQvnuw.
