Pets
that do this type of work need specific qualifications, as well as
special commitment from their owners. The owner/pet team is evaluated
before they are approved for Pet Therapy. Pets must be friendly and like
attention from strangers. They must be able to take new and strange
situations in stride, and react in a calm manner. Pets are required to
be under good control. Owners should commit to a housebroken, well
groomed and clean pet for every therapy visit. It's a special moment
when fur meets frailty. A connection is made and some joy is brought to
the lonely and the ill. Whether visiting elderly patients or children,
it is a rewarding experience for all involved. Consider doing pet
therapy with your Akita.
