Long before the human-animal bond was documented to improve health, the Pet Partners’ founders observed the positive impacts of pets on patient well-being, including lowered blood pressure, reduced anxiety and stress, promotion of physical activity and movement, and many other benefits. So, in 1977 our founders put their proven theories into everyday application by creating the Pet Partners Therapy Animal Program, which now registers and supports nearly 7,600 therapy animal teams across the United States who provide comfort and healing to the people they visit. We provide the best education available for our volunteers, preparing them and their pets for visits in hospitals, nursing homes, veterans’ centers, courtrooms, schools, workplaces, and more. The Pet Partners mission is to improve human-health and well-being through the human-animal bond.
