Is it possible to apply “Pet Assisted Therapy” for the sake of Tinnitus, Vertigo, Dizziness and Meniere’s Disease sufferers?

The history of “Pet Therapy” is unknown. Thousands of years, humans adopted various animals for pleasure. Dogs, cats, horses, goats, ships and cows became the animal friends of man in many cultures. The calming and therapeutic effect on humans is well recognized and used today as an aid to various therapies.
The question is: can it help Tinnitus, Vertigo, Dizziness and Meniere’s Disease sufferers to relieve their symptoms?
Many scientists dream of developing a standard medication that will cure all Tinnitus, Vertigo, Dizziness and Meniere’s Disease sufferers. This goal was not achieved yet. In the meantime there are two ways to help the patients: a Palliative treatment (a treatment that helps to relieve the symptoms), and Curative treatment for some types of these medical conditions, such as infection, benign tumors or Metabolic Abnormalities (Dr. Z. Shemesh from the Hadassah Hospital approach).
Hypnotherapy, meditation, biofeedback and hydrotherapy are known therapies that help the sufferers to relax, but are not curative. Pet assisted therapy may be included in the therapies that induce relaxation, and even more then that.
Out of the long list of pets, dogs and cats are far more popular among those who wish to raise their pet at home
