Pet therapy promotes human well-being through bonding with an animal, most often a cat, dog, or other household pet.
HOW IT WORKS:
Every pet owner understand the rewards of having an animal that gives unconditional affection. But no-one has yet explained why the companionship of a pet reduces heart rate and lowers blood pressure, or why elderly people who own pets make fewer visits to their doctor than those who don't. Numerous scientific studies have shown that pet owners also recover from surgery faster and survive a heart attack longer than those without pets. Some observers have noted that people who love their pets generally take better care of their own health because the animals depend upon them.
