Dogs on your Doorstep

The aim of the Dogs on your Doorstep programme is to provide visits from a therapy dog and its handler to people aged 60 and over who are dog lovers, in their own home,

​

The aim is to:

​

• Reduce lonliness and isolation

• Provide companionship

• Increase social connectivity

• Enable community confidence

• Enjoy the love of a dog once again

We can provide up to 6 sessions which may be weekly or fortnightly, which can then be reviewed subject to the demand on the service.

Referrals must be from a professional such as:

​

• GP 

• Social Worker

• Health Visitor

• Community Nurse

• Community Connector

• Mental Health Advocate​

​

To make a professional referral please email Jenna at teamleader@cariadpettherapy.co.uk with some general information on the referral, and to request our referral form with the email subject heading 'Home Visit Enquiry'.
