What do you want to know about the healing power of pets?

Sunday, Nov 23rd, 2014 | By Dr. Marty Becker

Pets heal us. They make us happier, they lower our blood pressure, they can detect diseases and conditions when nothing else can, they can reach autistic children and the withdrawn elderly, all in ways that seem miraculous.

Since the beginning of my career I’ve been fascinated by the healing power of pets, and it was the subject of one my best-selling books.

On Monday, Nov. 24, from 4-5 PM Eastern Time (1-2 PM Pacific Time), I’ll be doing an online Q&A on the DogTV Facebook page, discussing what my 30+ years as a veterinarian and lifetime as an animal lover have taught me about how animals heal and help us.

Please join me, and bring not just your questions, but your stories of how the animals in your life have healed and helped you!
