Is it advisable to sleep with a pet？

We all love our pets and want to spend time with them. We love playing with them, we love talking to them, we love showing them our affection with a little behind-the-ear scratch action, and we love to cuddle them. But is it healthy for our cats or dogs to sleep with us in our beds? Are there benefits or health concerns? 

Benefits of Sleeping With Pets

1. Do not feel lonely anymore

If you usually sleep alone, when you back home at night, you must feel lonely lying in the empty bed. If you have a pet lying next to you at this time, you can feel its breath, you can talk to it, which helps sleep.

Some people have the habit of sleeping late. They don't get up in the morning, and sometimes they're even late for oversleeping. In fact, it is very simple to solve this problem.

Disadvantages of Sleeping With Pets.

1. Parasites

There are more or less parasites on the pet. If the owner does not make a good parasite repellent for the pet at daily times, the parasites may stay in bed. These parasites will bite the owner's skin and cause itching. Some parasites can even parasitic in the owner's body, causing more serious parasitic diseases.

2. Decline in leadership

For dogs, if they often sleep with their owners, they may think they are on an equal footing with their owners. This will reduce the owner's leadership to the dog and the dog will not be so obedient.

3. Other disadvantages

If some cats are not sterilized during estrus, they may urinate to mark their territory in bed.

If the dog often sleeps with the owner at night, it will lead to the lack of independence of the dog. In this way, when the owner is not at home, the dog itself will be more anxious.
