ANTHROZOOLOGY- a new Science

In recent years, the health benefits of the interaction between human and the animals have been so astounding, that a new line of research looking for the biological underpinnings of this relationship has been created- the Anthrozoology. These studies can include wildlife, zoo animals, pets or production animals.

 

​

The interaction with animals improves physical and mental health,

releaves depression and anxiety signs,

improves focus and communication,

increases social interaction, 

and hence increases self-esteem, pleasantness, and the sense of well-being.

As a consequence, in humans, the cardiovascular parameters, blood pressure and the immune function improves. 

But, also, the animal may benefit from this relationship.
