| In an interview given by Dr. Tennis Turner, president of the International
Association of Human-Animal Integration Organizations (IAHAIO) and professor for veterinary science at the University of Zurich, he stated that the company of cats and dogs is essential to human quality of life. He has been trying to convince authorities, from ministers of health of First World countries to leaders of small South African communities, to invest in programs of Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT).
Dr. Turner has stated that “the company of pets benefits not only those physically or mentally ill, but also all ordinary human beings, regardless of their family income. It is good not only for the health of the individual but for public health as well. Animal Assisted Therapy represents a tremendous economy to public health, as it often succeeds in cases where traditional medical treatment has failed.”
In his quality of president of IAHAIO, Dr. Turner organizes conferences in major cities, which are attended by doctors from all over the world, with the intention of divulging the results of studies and experiments where animals have acted as therapists to children, juvenile delinquents, the elderly, women suffering from breast cancer, the mentally deficient, and even couples undergoing a crisis in their relationship.
Knowing the physical and psychological needs of cats and dogs helps us to treat them better. Only happy and healthy pets can be good company for human beings and contribute to our quality of life.
There are many kinds of benefits for people that have pets. Imagine a normal citizen, meaning someone healthy who needs some kind of therapy. The presence of a pet can lower his/her blood pressure, which is one of the reasons for a pet guardian’s better quality of life, one year after having a heart attack. Another explanation is obvious and applies to all guardians of dogs who wish to guard against heart disease: more daily exercise due to the necessary dog walking. Pet guardians generally have a lower level of cholesterol and are therefore less prone to heart attacks. A study published by the British Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine shows that pet guardians are less likely to be bothered by small health problems and enjoy a better quality of life than people who have no pets.
Companionship animals are also of help to children, both at home and in school. They augment children’s self-esteem, improve their integration with other children and increase their performance in school. |
