Pets and other animals have an important place in the lives of many people. It can be a work animal (police dog), a service animal, a family pet, livestock, hunting culture, or you work with animals (i.e., veterinary staff). This page is dedicated to the impact of animals on human mental health. This is a topic to be honoured and cared for. If you are going through grief, loss, stress, worries, or trauma, it’s okay to reach out and talk to someone.
