The benefits of interaction with pets
are many. Visits with therapy pets encourage reminiscences and social interaction, and
result in stress relief and incidental physiotherapy.
Medical studies suggest that blood pressure may be lowered and hospital stays shortened
when patients have access to pets.
Often, a visit with a pet can be the high point in a shut-in's day, bringing happiness and
a sense of well-being |
