Try Pet Therapy<\/h2>\n

Animals are a great source of happiness, and nearly 80 million households in the United States own either a cat, a dog, or both! If you love pets, and even have one of your own, then you probably already know that animal companions can make some seriously good impacts on your health. Mental health has shown to be improved when you\u2019re hanging out with animals. Playing with Fido has showed improvements in trust, mood and empathy, among many other benefits.
