Best Answer

Yes, pet therapy does work. It helps a person cope with the tragedy in their life. Pet therapy is good for eldery people, and people in the hospital. It is companionship for people without having to take care of the animal personally. I have my great aunt and my little brother who is fighting cancer using pet therapy.

Do you need a license to take a therapy dog to hospitals for visits?

Though a license is not required, you can not just walk into a hospital with your dog and claim it as a therapy animal. You must first have permission from the facility you wish to visit. Each facility will have its own requirements for those wishing to visit with therapy animals. Most require that you be part of a recognized therapy pet group, that your animal have current health papers on record with the facility, that your pet be certified as a therapy pet, and that you carry liability insurance. Therapy pet organizations, such as the Delta Society, Therapy Dogs International, or Therapy Dogs Incorporated, each administer tests to determine whether an animal is suitable for working in therapy situations. Each also has a code of ethics by which members agree to abide. Part of the annual registration fee goes toward liability insurance which is required by most facilities.

What do AAT service dogs do?

AAT stands for animal assisted therapy. These animals are not service animals, they are therapy animals. They are pets that have gone through a small amount of training past obedience to visit facilities/hospitals/libraries and do various kinds of activities with the patients/people/consumers in those facilities. These animals are not service animals and are in these facilities with special permission. You may NOT take a therapy animal into a grocery store. Outside of their therapy work, they are just a pet.
