Finding a furry friend in the era of COVID-19

(From the Federal Trade Commission)

If you’ve been thinking about adding a pet to your family, now may be a good time. In addition to pets offering unconditional love, companionship, and amusement, studies have shown that the bond between people and their pets has health benefits. Regular walking or playing with pets can decrease blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and triglyceride levels.

Keep these tips in mind:

  • Search online for the animal’s image.
  • Don’t pay with a gift card or wire money.
