Check out our latest post on our website www.gretchenspetservice.com on why Dogs are good for your mental health;

"Dogs are the most popular animals to work as therapy pets, though other animals can succeed as well if they are docile and respond to training. Hospitals make use of therapy pets particularly for patients with cancer, heart disease and mental health conditions. The pets that are certified to visit medical facilities meet a high standard of training and are healthy and vaccinated.

For people with a mental health condition, research has shown that time with pets reduces anxiety levels more than other recreational activities. Pets also provide a non-judgmental form of interaction that can motivate and encourage people, especially children. Veterans with PTSD have also found therapy pets helpful."

Every Saturday we do pet excursions. Our fee includes pick up and drop off. We believe in small packs so we only allow 5 dogs at a time and make sure they get to know each other first before taking them to a private park as a pack. We don't take any dogs to dog parks. During our excursions we provide water, treats, and play time!

Submit a booking request today so we can do an initial assessment and see if our services area a fit for you!
