If you’re like any parent, you want your child to grow up feeling confident and having numerous friendships. While this may happen even if they don’t have a pet, ones who do have a much greater chance of meeting both these goals. Based on research from the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, children who spend time playing with a pet often feel more confident in social situations.

While there could be many reasons for this, researchers believe the fact that the animal shows a child unconditional love no matter how many mistakes they may make has something to do with it.

In addition to this, pets also increase the likelihood of kids developing friendships. For example, shy children are often seen running up to other kids with pets, or groups of kids in a neighborhood may gather together to walk their dogs or even organize a pet talent show.

About the Product

Pet Shield™ is a water based suspension containing millions of microscopic protectors. In water, the microscopic protectors (manufactured chemicals formed from non-toxic compounds), float freely looking to attach themselves to a surface as they dry out. Once dry, the protectors align their microscopic tails out from the surface forming a microscopic, long-lasting “bed of nails”. This bed of nails forms an impenetrable and deadly layer to harmful micro-organisms such as bacteria, mould and mildew, which burst from the pressure on contact, a process known as a “mechanical kill”. 

• ‘Global warming' describes long term increases in temperature of the earth’s atmosphere.
• 'Climate’ refers to the average weather in a region over a period of typically 30 years or more. 
• 'Climate change’ refers to the recent changes in climate, which have been observed since the early 1900’s due to global warming
• 'Greenhouse gases’ are essential to the earths atmosphere, but in the right quantities.
• Global temeratures have increased by 1oC since pre-industrial times. The last time humans saw a change like this was the dawn of civilisation.
• A rise of just 1oC will create huge problems in future, for man and wildlife, which is already being seen in the Arctic. 
• Even if all greenhouse gas emissions were stopped, global temperature will continue to rise due to the gasses already in the atmosphere.

Without IMMEDIATE action on climate change, both humans and polar bears face a very uncertain future!
