Pet Therapy or Animal Facilitative Therapy is alot more than someone
bringing a dog to a nursing home or hospital so people can pet it. There are many ways in which the use of therapy animals
or animals used as therapy (there are differences in correctly using this terminology as will be demonstrated later in this
webpage). This page will explain the above terminology and also demonstrate uses of animals and guidelines for these
uses. You will also be provided with many links and recommended reading materials as well as organizations through which
you can thoroughly get information for your own research on the different aspects of this diverse topic. I will also
provide much insight and demonstrate the use of animals in many therapeutic senses from my multiple and greatly involved experiences
and training in these areas and as a Recreation Therapist. Although I will discuss other animals, I will eventually
give the main focus to rabbits.
