(PRESS RELEASE) WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI) and Ernie Els Pet Products announced a partnership to advance their shared goal of strengthening the human-animal bond. This collaboration will have a special focus on the vital role of the human-animal bond in helping children with autism.

“At Ernie Els Pet Products, we are dedicated to creating a world where the companionship we share with our pets helps foster a more compassionate and inclusive society,” stated Mark Segal, CEO of Ernie Els Pet Products. “This vision drives our dedication to improving the lives of pets and people with high-quality products that prioritize health while benefiting the autism community. Through our partnership with HABRI, we will be able to communicate the science behind the human-animal bond with our customers and help advance important research to benefit children with autism.”

Research shows that pets can have a profound benefit for children with autism, including increased social interaction and improved social skills and behaviors. A HABRI-funded study also found significantly improved family harmony for families with a child with autism that had a dog compared to those without.[1]

“HABRI is grateful for the support of Ernie Els Pet Products, a company with a clear mission to empower pet owners to become champions for change and strengthen the human-animal bond,” said Steven Feldman, President of HABRI.
