Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) is an alternative or complementary therapy that incorporates animals into a course of treatment, with the goal of improving a patient's social, emotional, or cognitive functioning. Studies have documented some positive effects of the therapy on subjective self-rating scales and on objective physiological measures such as blood pressure and hormone levels.
