Kaci The Therapy Dog

Benefits of having Animals Part of Therapy

Animals In Therapy

Animals have been accepted into our homes as family members for quite some time. Animals can help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression simply by being a part of our life. Dogs for example can make someone smile simply by wagging their tail or greeting us at the door after a tough day. They are always happy to see us. They also motivate us to get moving and get outside. Simply spending time in the moment with our pet’s unconditional acceptance and love can have a positive impact on our mood.

Benefits of Therapy Pets

In therapy, just like in our home, the presence of an animal can assist in the therapeutic process by helping to create a calm, safe place to work through challenges that are impacting quality of life. We are lucky to have our very own therapy dog, Kaci here at Rising Tides Healing Centre who is always ready to greet our clients with a smile and a wagging tail.
