Dog therapy at Amora Care

Dog Therapy

What is dog therapy and how can it benefit me?

Dog therapy has many benefits for older adults, besides being a lot of fun. For example, research indicates that pet therapy releases endorphins and can reduce stress levels, anxiety, pain, fatigue and isolation. 

​

It helps create a sense of tranquillity and well-being which have immense benefits, particularly for those at risk of loneliness. 

​

At Amora Care, we are committed to providing the very best in home care. As part of our premium service, we can include pet therapy visits on your schedule, which is a particularly great option for people who love pets but cannot care for one anymore.

Meet our therapy dog, Snoop

Meet our therapy puppy: Snoop

Snoop is a fully certified therapy dog, with a kind and gentle soul. His favourite things are lounging in comfortable chairs, being stroked and playing at the beach!

​

When you arrange a care package with us, we will ask if you would like to receive a visit from Snoop from time to time. We can add that to your schedule of visits and at no extra cost you can reap all the benefits that reintroducing a pet to your life would have. 

How does dog therapy work?

If you would like the occasional visit from Snoop, we will conduct a therapy dog risk assessment in your home to ensure all his visits will be safe for you. 

​

Once that is cleared, one of our team will bring Snoop around at a suitable time for a relaxed visit, ranging from a gentle pat session on a chair to a nice walk around the park. 

​

Our objective is to reduce loneliness and encourage a more active lifestyle wherever possible. So this is an excellent opportunity to schedule a gentle walk to exercise your muscles while having a friendly chat and the occasional cuddle with Snoop!

Meet our therapy dog again, Snoop!
