Therapet Visitor - Canine Concern Scotland Trust

Ref 40 - 147

Registered Therapets and their volunteer owners visit residential homes, nursing homes, hospitals and hospices throughout Scotland. Visiting is on a regular basis and the Therapet scheme provides contact with pets for many people who would otherwise be deprived of the companionship of a pet.

Do you own a friendly, outgoing though not too boisterous dog that loves lots of fuss? If so, perhaps you might like to think about registering him/her in our THERAPET visiting service. You haven't heard of it?... For some years now it has been recognised more and more that pets are good for us!  Indeed, it has been scientifically proved that the mere action of stroking a dog or cat, slows down the heartbeat, reduces blood pressure, and makes someone who has suffered a heart attack much less likely to have another.This is where THERAPET visiting service comes in.
