Benefits of Pet Therapy

Aug 02, 2017 by Thumper Massager

Pet Therapy, also known as Animal-Assisted Therapy, is a regimented set of animal/human interactions that help a person (that typically suffers from either mental or physical health issues) reach specific goals in their treatment plan. These sessions with dogs, cats, or even guinea pigs can help reduce blood pressure and stress. Participants normally release endorphins, a happy chemical that alleviates pain, soothes a person, and improves their overall psychological state.
