Health risks change dynamically and pose a real challenge for the future of humanity.

There are studies confirming that. 50% of psychiatrists recommend having a pet to deal with depression, however, it is not taken into account that cooperation between the psychiatric service and the veterinarian is necessary, so that it is the veterinarian who ‘prescribes’ the most appropriate animal in each case. This is called ‘One Health’. It also had an impact on cities, transportation, tourism… not adapting very well to living with pets, even though society demands more and more each day.
