Pets as Therapy

To bring comfort and companionship to people in hospital, hospices, nursing or residential homes by taking registered PAT dogs (or cats) to visit on a regular basis.

housands of people of all ages benefit every week from the visits provided by our Volunteer PAT Teams, who visit residential homes, hospitals, hospices, schools, day care centres and prisons. Volunteers with just a small amount of spare time each week work with their own pets, to bring joy, comfort and companionship to many individuals who appreciate being able to touch and stroke a friendly animal.
