In short, Pet Therapy can promote healing of mind, body and spirit in many children, adults and seniors suffering from countless different issues. And one of the best things about therapy that involves animal companions is that it goes both ways. Animals also benefi t from their special bond with their human companions and can fi nd healing along with their caretakers; especially animals commissioned from shelters, who often have a history of abuse and neglect. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Some of the Many Reasons Why Pet Therapy Works
Animal Companions
• require care and attention, which keeps the patients busy, active and distracted from their health challenges. They also reinforce rehabilitation behavior in patients (for instance, by getting them to walk or throw a ball).
• offer unconditional love, which is the most healing feeling anyone can receive.
• inspire altruistic love. By doing something for another being, a person can reduce depression. Loving others is a depression antidote.
• are wonderfully accepting creatures. As I mentioned above, they make great non-judgmental listeners, providing a safe space for emotions to be expressed.
• lower blood pressure, relieve stress, reduce anxiety, boost the immune system and more. Countless studies show the health benefi ts of riding a horse, playing with a dog or a cat, etc.
