Through conversations with veterinarians, psychologists, therapists, pet trainers, and other experts, we uncover strategies to harness the therapeutic potential of our pets fully. In this installment, we had the privilege of interviewing feline behaviorist, Stephen Quandt, who shares insights on optimizing the mental health benefits of owning a cat.
