Coming to therapy can be difficult for adults or children. Our therapy dog, Momo can help in lots of ways. Not only is he a good listener, but he is friendly and enjoys helping people feel safe and calm. Whether he is just hanging out, playing games, or enjoying a pat, many people enjoy having him in the room. Of course, no-one has to interact with Momo if they don't want to, or are afraid of dogs.

Introducing our therapy dog, Momo

We are not the only ones who think a therapy dog is helpful. Researchers have found that simply having a friendly dog around, can help with physiological stress responses such as heart rate, blood pressure, and skin temperature, even when talking about things that normally cause us to be stressed (Julius et al, 2013).›
