Pet therapy is a form of guided interaction between a trained animal and a person. Its purpose is to help the person copy with a stressor or mental disorder.

You may have heard that pet therapy is being used more often nowadays at senior facilities. Research by the UCLA reveals that petting an animal elevates moods as the gesture promotes the release of feel-good hormones.

Not only that, pet therapy slows the breathing in those who feel anxious. It decreases feelings of loneliness and can serve as a happy distraction. For seniors with dementia, pet therapy can be soothing especially among those who have difficulty using language.
