The Benefits of Pet Therapy for Seniors

Discover the benefits of pet therapy for seniors with Kayde, a Hospice Consultant from Dunes Hospice. Kayde will explore Animal Assisted Therapy, a method that uses animals to interact with seniors to enhance their quality of life. Studies show that just fifteen minutes spent bonding with an animal can lower stress levels and boost “feel-good” hormones like serotonin, prolactin, and oxytocin. Plus, a therapy dog named Frankie will be joining us for a hands-on demonstration of the power of pet therapy!
