How Pets can Benefit Senior Citizens

The Collaborative Vet Podcast - Michael Dr.T Tokiwa

There are many benefits of pet ownership for seniors, including companionship, physical and mental health benefits, and the importance of choosing the right pet for a senior's lifestyle and abilities. I offer tips and advice on caring for a pet as a senior, such as hiring a pet sitter or seeking help from family and friends, and highlighted resources available for seniors who need assistance with pet care. I emphasize the positive impact pets can have on the lives of seniors and encouraged listeners to consider how a pet could enhance their own lives or the life of a senior they know.
