10 Benefits of Pet Therapy

Improve Mood

Pet therapy has been long used as a type of emotional support for patients with chronic diseases. It is quite popular to see dogs or cats cheering up and making children happy in hospitals or clinics. This is because playing and interacting with animals would help improve mood and allow for better social interaction. All of these mental benefits would improve the quality of life and speed up the healing process of many other medical conditions. Even when you don’t experience any physical issue, pet therapy would provide positive energy to boost your efficiency and performance at work or study. [3]
