Does petting your pet decrease your stress level

It can. I suspect it has something to do with the affection your pet will show you while petting it. (I'm assuming we're talking about dogs here) The only AKC certification that a mixed-breed dog can get is Therapy Dog. That's a dog that visits the sick and elderly as a form of therapy for them.
