In this episode, Wendy Liebmann talks to Lindsey Braun, Vice President of Research & Operations at HABRI (the Human Animal Bond Research Institute) about the power of pets to positively impact the health and wellbeing of people – and retail.

They discuss:

• The science behind the pet–human connection and the power pets have to change lives.  (It’s real.)
• How having a pet can improve overall health and wellbeing, including mental health, autism, and medical outcomes
• With the ageing of America, the role pets can plan in reducing loneliness, even caregiving
• The positive effects of pet friendly workplaces
• Why retailers such as Walmart, Petco and others continue to enhance their pet services
