Pets and Seniors: Swiss Project

According to a telephone survey of the Zurich Animal Protection Society with a freak random sample of old people's homes in the canton, the willingness to accommodate also pets of new moving-in people has clearly increased in the course of the past years. Out of 20 homes questioned, a number of 16 homes allow the admittance of pets, 12 thereof also dogs and cats. Our current mailing to sponsors has this welcome tendency as its topic. But not every dog and every cat is suitable to be kept in a home for senior citizens. It depends on what?
The Institute of Interdisciplinary Research in Man-Animal Relationship (IEMT) have thoroughly studied this question and compiled a manual for old people's homes some years ago. In the meantime, this handbook is out of print. That is why we have - as agreed with the IEMT - compiled the most important results of the IEMT research work in explanatory leaflets and on our homepage.
