PHILADELPHIA, PA, June 19, 2013 (Press-News.org) A recent article in the Central Florida news points out the benefits of what some refer to as "prescription pups" or therapy dogs, information praised by Michael Drobot, the founder of an animal rescue adoption facility and animal-assisted therapy (AAT) program. The report enlightens readers on the multiple ways pet therapy can change lives, helping people "recover from or better cope with health problems, such as heart diseases, cancer and mental health disorders."
Michael Drobot, the owner of Furever Homes adoption and training center as well as Furever Happy, an animal-assisted therapy program earnestly responds to the writer's remarks about the growing field. "Our dogs are trained to enhance the physical, emotional and social well-being of many people's lives - young and old," he said. "Pet therapy is incredible in that it can completely transform self-esteem, reduce anxiety and even produce healing results."
The article continues to discuss AAT in great length, declaring the endless advantages of the treatment and where these specially trained dogs are most likely changing lives. The article comments on the form of therapy as a means of reducing pain, anxiety, depression and fatigue in people with varying health conditions. Studies show that children, adults and elderly patients are seeing dramatic results, whether it's reduced pain and anxiety for children having dental procedures, people recovering from or receiving cancer treatment, patients with chronic heart failure or other challenges.
Veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder are beginning to recognize AAT and the significant strides toward brighter futures. Michael Drobot responds to the article's approach to therapy advantages. "People in long-term care facilities are impacted in positive ways from our Furever Happy sessions. We have more than 15 therapy teams that bring joy and healing to residents in rehabilitation facilities, assisted-living homes and children's hospitals."
The article also points out that individuals suffering from illness are not the only people to "reap the benefits." Family members and friends are able to sit in on AAT visits, taking in the positive effects of pet therapy after dealing with their own burdens, stress and struggles. The therapy is used in non-medical settings, growing in universities and community groups to help with stress management and other issues.
The report notes that there are common risk factors to look out for, particularly in choosing a specific AAT program. The biggest concerns continue to remain as safety and sanitation. Michael Drobot strongly concurs with the need to keep an eye out for potential risks. "A quality AAT program will include extensively trained animals with appropriate screenings for desired behavior. At Furever Happy, all therapy dogs are thoroughly evaluated and trained before impacting the lives of children and adults. They also have to pass the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification among other requirements. All of our animals are successful in basic obedience and advanced socialization to assist people in the best ways possible," said Michael Drobot.
