Pet Assisted Therapy

The benefits include:

* May increase client motivation to participate out of a desire to spend time with the therapy pet.

* May temporarily shift a client's focus away from disabling pain so the client can work longer in a therapy session and potentially gain more benefit.

* Client may receive healing nurturance and affection through physical contact with the therapy pet.

* Client may experience soothing comfort from petting or holding a therapy pet.

* Client may experience unconditional acceptance by the therapy pet.

* Client may experience enjoyment and entertainment from interaction with a therapy pet.

* Client may be able to form a more trusting relationship with a human therapist who is observed by the client to have a positive relationship with the therapist's pet.

* Client may be able to achieve goals not otherwise possible without the assistance of a therapy pet.
