The expected outcomes of animal therapy can vary depending on the individual, the type of therapy, and the condition being addressed. 

Emotional Support: Animals can provide emotional support, comfort, and companionship to individuals struggling with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

Stress Reduction: Interacting with animals has been shown to reduce stress levels, lower blood pressure, and promote relaxation, which can help in managing stress-related conditions.

Increased Socialization: Animal therapy can improve social skills, communication, and interaction with others, especially for individuals with autism spectrum disorders or social anxiety.

Improved Mood: Spending time with animals can boost mood, increase feelings of happiness and well-being, and provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
