Welcome to Canine Friends Pet Therapy
Dogs Helping PeopleCanine Friends Pet Therapy is a New Zealand-wide network of people who share their friendly well behaved dogs with patients in hospitals and residents in rest homes/hospices. | Pet TherapyHealth research in New Zealand and overseas shows clearly that many people show great improvement in their health and attitude through interaction with visiting animals. Canine Friends experience and anecdotal evidence shows that the people we visit are often energised and comforted by our visiting dog teams. | Everyone WinsPatients, residents and staff look forward to the visits. Our dogs love being patted, hugged and talked to. Dog owners enjoy seeing patients and residents faces light up as they are transported through the touch of a furry coat. |
