BRUSELAS, 31 de marzo de 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Existen soluciones creativas que pueden permitir a los adultos mayores pasar más tiempo con mascotas, disfrutando de los beneficios emocionales y físicos que esta relación puede aportar. Investigadores del Centro WALTHAM® para Nutrición de Mascotas, la Universidad de Montana y la Universidad Estatal de Ohio han divulgado nuevas recomendaciones que destacan las posibles soluciones para superar las barreras reales y las percibidas sobre la posesión de mascotas.

Los esquemas existentes para ayudar a los adultos mayores abarcan ayuda financiera con los costos de la adopción, entrega a domicilio de comida para mascotas (como Meals on Wheels para mascotas) y programas para cuidar o reubicar a las mascotas si los adultos ya no pueden cuidarlas. Entre las nuevas soluciones podrían estar "adopción de mascotas por prescripción médica" para adultos mayores afectados por la tristeza o el aislamiento, adopciones de prueba por parte de los albergues y guía sobre las especies y razas de mascotas para responder a las necesidades de cada individuo.

"A muchos adultos mayores les encantaría pasar tiempo con una mascota y se beneficiarían en gran medida de los efectos positivos que ofrece su compañía, pero les preocupa cómo pueden costear o cuidar a una mascota", dijo Sandra McCune, PhD, Responsable de las Investigaciones de la Interacción Humano-Animal en WALTHAM®. "En muchos casos, estas barreras son fáciles de superar. Este nuevo informe muestra los servicios que existen, e inspira a las comunidades, las instituciones y los encargados de formular políticas a buscar soluciones nuevas e innovadoras. Visualizamos un futuro en el que fomentar los lazos entre humanos y animales ya no se vea como un cuidado alternativo, sino como una norma de cuidado".
