The Benefits Therapy Dogs can bring to Your Senior Loved One
Pets not only offer companionship for your senior loved one, they have also been proven to improve their overall health and well-being. There is research that has proven that pet therapy goes far beyond having a cute friend to cuddle. There is evidence that there are both physical and mental benefits that are offered to senior citizens who are exposed to a therapy dog. This is one of the major reasons that so many seniors are exposed to, or have their own pet, especially those that suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
Comfort Keepers Santa Clarita understands the benefits that pets can have for your senior loved ones, which is why our four-legged friend, Brinkly, visits our senior’s regularly. Not only does he love them, he offers many benefits for these seniors.
If you have never considered the benefit that a therapy dog can add to your senior loved one’s life, now may be the time to do so. These pets have been linked to lower cholesterol levels, help to fight depression and may even help to protect against stroke and heart disease. This is why pet therapy for seniors can be so beneficial and a necessity for your loved one.
