Pet therapy has been used as a co-therapy alongside traditional therapies for quite some time now. It is not actual therapy but rather a pathway that can help the patient especially psychologically.

Pet therapy is effectively employed to support patients of all ages who are facing illnesses of various kinds. The presence of an animal -- dog, cat or other pet -- generally helps the patient to be more cooperative in following treatment plans, improves his or her mood and makes the course of treatment more bearable.

Thanks to animals, in short, human beings are able to benefit at a particularly difficult time in their lives.
