Hi, Does anyone have a therapy pet policy they would be able to share. We are currently reviewing ours after having a greater interest in having pets as therapy visit.

Any guidance/advice would be greatly appreciated.

This is really useful information. Can I ask, do the Pets as Therapy volunteers complete all the mandatory training?
