Animal assisted therapy is an applied subject which uses animals to solve human problems. It represents an interdisciplinary approach including animals as a complementary element to others therapies.

Most of the animal assisted therapies and programs are focused to individuals in institutions more than to people living alone, at their own and who could need them.

Usually, the animals which cooperate with the therapy live in the same institution or belong to volunteers. Many patients can miss them when they return to normal life

In some cases, the therapist recommends the presence of a pet. Now is the moment to choose a right one, suitable and well trained for what is expected to do. Not every pet can achieve that.
