22.01.2022 Many animals can become involved in therapy. Although horses, dogs, and cats are most common, some people choose fish, guinea pigs, and even dolphins. It is ver...y important that therapy animals are friendly, calm, well-trained, in good health, and up to date with vaccinations and parasite control. Some key points to consider when choosing a therapy animal are: Will you be keeping the animal as a pet? If so, can you safely and comfortably house a pet where you live? Will you be able to financially and physically meet all the animal's needs? Will you be able to afford both routine and unexpected veterinary costs? Will you be visiting the animal at another location, such as a sanctuary or stable? What are your personal goals for animal-assisted therapy? What kind of support might you need from your therapist or medical team What Types of Therapy are Available? Depending on your personal needs and goals, there are countless types of animal-assisted therapies available to you. For example, equine therapy programs like Riding for the Disabled provide a wonderful opportunity for people with disabilities to learn to ride and care for school horses under the guidance of experienced professionals.
