A therapy or social dog is used in animal-assisted therapy. Working as a team with their owners, the trusting animals bring variety to the patients, provide a sense of security, reduce stress and motivate them to socialise.
The social and therapy dogs and their owners have a special relationship with each other and always act as a team. Together, they regularly visit the patients at the palliative care centre. The purpose of these visits is to bring variety into everyday life at the centre and to bring joy, but also to have a calming effect on those affected. The dogs also give them the opportunity to communicate with the outside world in a different way.
Social and therapy dogs are people-orientated, sensitive and balanced. They provide comfort and have a calming effect. The dogs are specially trained for situations that the animal may encounter on the ward and at the patient's bedside.
The dog owners are volunteers who offer companionship with their dog. They have received theoretical and practical training and have been tested in terms of hygiene, clinical pictures, rules of behaviour, communication and interaction with the people they visit.
