PAT Dog Therapy at Cherrytrees Care

For years research has identified the positive impact pets can have both psychologically and physiologically. Evidence has shown that pets can even reduce stress, anxiety and loneliness. Dogs also have a fantastic way of encouraging people to get active and spend more time out doors on dog walks thus reducing risk of cardiovascular related problems.

Service uses at Cherrytrees Care can now attend one to one and group PAT Dog therapy sessions with Zico - a Hungarian Vizsla.

Zico visits Cherrytrees Care most days for supervised socialisation sessions with service users and even accompany groups for local dog walks.
