The Drake Center for Veterinary Care

🐕‍🦺 Service dogs provide invaluable support for individuals with Autism. From offering sensory support during overstimulation to guiding someone to safety or even acting as a social bridge, these amazing animals are life-changing companions. 💖 Here are some of the incredible ways service dogs can help: 🐾 Interrupting emotional outbursts with gentle nudges or licks 🐾 Providing grounding presence in overwhelming situations 🐾 Guiding to a safe space when disoriented 🐾 Alerting caregivers to emergencies like seizures 🐾 Acting as a social bridge for interactions 🐾 Alerting to repetitive or self-harming behaviors 🐾 Tracking and locating if someone gets lost 🐾 Providing sensory support such as applying deep pressure to help calm during overstimulation 🐾 Helping with transitions between tasks or locations 🐾 Preventing wandering and ensuring safety 💕 Your support makes partnerships like these possible.

One person to hold your pet so they stay safe, one person to do the treatment, and one person dedicated to giving treats, pets, & lots of love and comfort! 💖 Patient comfort and safety is our priority.
