Keeping
it
Clean:
The
Healing
Power
of
Animals Animals
have
been
companions
to
humans
for
centuries.
From
domesticated
cats
and
dogs
to
exotic
creatures
like
parrots
and
hedgehogs,
these
furry
and
feathered
friends
offer
more
than
just
companionship
-
they
can
also
promote
good
health
and
wellbeing. Studies
have
shown
that
interacting
with
animals
can
lower
blood
pressure,
reduce
stress,
and
ease
depression
and
anxiety.
In
fact,
many
hospitals
and
therapy
centers
now
incorporate
animal-assisted
therapy
as
part
of
their
treatment
programs. But

animal
therapy,
it's
important
to
prioritize
cleanliness
and
hygiene.
This
means
keeping
animal
living
areas
clean
and
free
from
harmful
bacteria,
as
well
as
ensuring
that
both
animals
and
humans
are
properly
washed
and
disinfected. Proper
cleanliness
is
especially
important
when
it
comes
to
animals
that
are
used
in
therapy
settings.
These
animals
are
often
brought
into
hospitals
and
assisted
living
facilities
where
patients
may
have
weakened
immune
systems.
In
these
situations,
cleanliness
and
good
hygiene
practices
can
mean
the
difference
between
a
beneficial
experience
and
one
that
puts
vulnerable
patients
at
risk. Furthermore,
keeping
animals
clean
and
well-groomed
can
also
lead
to
a
deeper
bond
between
human
and
animal.
Regularly
bathing,
brushing,
and
grooming
pets
not
only
keeps
them
looking
and
smelling
fresh,
but
it
also
provides
an
opportunity
for
owners
to
check
for
any
signs
of
illness
or
injury. In
short,
when
it
comes
to
animals
and
their
healing
powers,
cleanliness
is
key.
By
prioritizing
cleanliness
and
hygiene,
we
can
ensure
that
our
animal
companions
are
as
healthy
and
happy
as
possible,
while
also
reaping
the
many
physical
and
emotional
benefits
that
come
from
interacting
with
them.
