information SERVICE DETAILS

Dogs have been our companions for hundreds of years. Most breeds have developed over the years to become wonderful family pets. Studies show that the presence of a dog can help reduce an individual’s heart rate and anxiety levels, especially whilst stroking the animal. This calming ability is the basis of canine therapy.

Therapy dogs are taken to visit individuals who could benefit from a relaxing environment, and from the positive distraction that the animals create.
