About Us

Welcome to The Therapy Dog Connection

The Dog Therapy Connection was born from an idea to bridge the gap between patients and canine therapy.  Numerous studies have shown the benefits of bringing dogs to hospitals and patient settings for the psychological benefits.  We wanted to grow that connection and make dog therapy a major part of patient care whether in palliative care, hospitals, or outpatient sessings.

Testimonials

When my Mother got cancer that she wouldn't recover from, she had a hard time with staying in the hospital setting.  I remember the joy that was in her eyes when she was visited by a therapy dog.
