What is a therapy dog ? A question I am often asked.

When I am in my darkest place and things feel so painful I look at my two buddies and then realise I am in my happy place. No judgement or criticism. No anger or selfishness. No lies or deceit. Just happy busy dogs.

If you feel like this then join us on a walk. Enjoy the great spaces we have and the company of these fine furry friends

These guys are massive supporters of Dogs for Heath. They have donated items for goodie bags and are always on hand to chat about new ideas for local events.
Their beautiful dog Dora has just had major spinal surgery and is needing a lot of TLC &physio.
We love these guys and all their amazing products. As a local charity we would love people to support them whilst they focus on their dog. 🐶
