Suggest Treatment For Anxiety

Yes. I suffer from anxiety, and i notice now that i have a pet, im able to motivate myself and feel better getting up and having a nice walk. I dont want to be on Meds, so i figure having someone as a pet, to help push me into be more active. Do you think my doctor would approve as in a note for my apt?
