Pet Therapy Benefits Teens, Too

New York teens recently adopted a 7-year old Tabby and already, their bond is unbreakable.

Just the past spring, teens N’deye and M’baye adopted Chester, an orange and white tabby with permission from their mom.

Thirteen-year-old M’baye says Chester is helping her cope with school and family life. She says she can tell her cat anything without worrying about judgments.

Psychologists agree that pets can have physiological and emotional benefits for teenagers.

Dr. Aubrey Fine of Cal Poly State University tells us that petting an animal reduces the heart rate and minimizes cortisol levels.

The Professor Emeritus Fine who is also an author of books about children and animals explained that animals help diffuse the sense of loneliness and isolation.

Do you own an assistance animal? Register your pet. 

The Service Animal Registry of California invites you to have your assistance animal registered in order to designate its status. We also encourage you to take our online classes so you can be fully aware of your rights and gain more knowledge about your support animal.

Finally, we present to you our book entitled, “ASSISTANCE ANIMAL LAWS: LEARN YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS, THERAPY PETS, AND OTHER DOGS, CATS, AND ASSISTANCE ANIMALS” to provide you with a complete education on assistance animals.
