Which term describes a therapy that involves interaction with an animal to aid health or well-being?

• A. Personal hygiene
• B. Pet therapy
• C. Physical therapist
• D. Phone etiquette

Answer: (B)

Pet therapy describes therapy that involves interaction with an animal to aid health or well-being. This approach uses animals, such as dogs or cats, to help reduce stress, improve mood, encourage social interaction, and support physical or emotional goals. The other options don’t fit: personal hygiene is about daily cleanliness tasks and has no animal component; a physical therapist is a clinician who provides rehabilitation services, not the therapy itself; and phone etiquette relates to polite communication, not health benefits from animal contact.
