Nothing melts stress after a tough day at work or school like coming home to spend time with your pet. Every pet parent knows that dogs and cats help us feel better and give us the emotional support we need to tackle anything life throws at us.
Over the past few decades, there’s been a growing body of research studies showing that pet therapy can offer unexpectedly powerful, science-backed physical, mental, and emotional benefits for people of all ages.
Pet therapy is the use of trained animals in settings like hospitals, schools, universities, and nursing homes to offer companionship, learning opportunities, and stress relief to patients, students, and residents.
Pet therapy can be formal, with the use of animal assisted therapy to help individuals as part of a structured treatment plan, or it can be informal, for example, group sessions to offer anyone at a facility to interact with visiting pets.
If your dog, cat, or other pet loves meeting new people and adapts easily to unfamiliar environments, they might be a good candidate for volunteer therapy work. You can find a local therapy pet program through an organization like PAWS for People or Pet Partners. If your pet can pass the organization’s training and behavior requirements, you can start joining group visits as a therapy team with your pet.
VISION
Every pet deserves to live a long, happy, healthy life.
