Benefits of Pet Therapy

Adding Structure and Schedule to Your Day

People with pets are less likely to feel boring because caring for pets require things like regular feeding, taking care of urine, vomit, or exercising. These activities give owners structure to their day. Having a regular schedule keep animals balanced and can calm down. As result, it keeps you calm too. People are most times compelled to get out of bed early to feed their pets and care for them. All these activities have therapeutic effects on people with physical and mental conditions. [5]
