Pet Therapy
Science confirms it: a relationship with an animal can stimulate positive physical, cognitive, emotional, and social effects in different categories of people. From children to the elderly, from people with disabilities to psychiatric patients to prisoners.
The main effects of Pet Therapy include reducing anxiety and loneliness, improving mood, socialisation and self-esteem, sensory and motor stimulation and slowing down cognitive decline.
Alongside the associations Frida’s Friends Onlus, we support Pet Therapy activities at the Fatebenefratelli Hospital in Milan by carrying out important projects related to Pet Therapy, from which over 2.395 children have benefited to date and in February of 2025 other 300 children.
Starting from April 2023, in fact, two assistants with their dogs will organize three weekly meetings to support the little ones hospitalized in the hospital’s pediatric oncology department. Furthermore, since 2024 Arcaplanet concretely support the initiative with which the association and its cats take their steps in the fight against DCA, to date supporting 10 people suffering from eating disorders.
