Yes, pets can help with eating disorders by providing companionship, emotional support, and structure to those affected. Having a pet can help reduce feelings of loneliness, stress, and anxiety, which are often associated with eating disorders. Pets can also create a sense of routine and responsibility around mealtimes, which can be beneficial for individuals struggling with disordered eating habits. Additionally, the unconditional love and non-judgmental nature of pets can promote feelings of self-worth and acceptance in individuals with eating disorders.
