The question is, is there any science to back up the effect these mental health service dogs have? In this guide, we aim to answer your burning questions: what are therapy dogs, and where to buy a therapy dog yourself. Read on for the definitive answer on these furry psychologists.

What Are Therapy Dogs, Specifically?

Therapy dogs, or companion animals more generally, are animals that help humans cope with various mental health issues. In addition to depression and anxiety, this can include stress, ADHD, and PTSD. They also serve in the capacity of crisis intervention. You will find companion animals assisting those with dementia, or those in hospice care as well. The limit of a therapy dog’s abilities is as big as your imagination.

This means cuddling, playing, walking with, and accompanying people with various needs. Unlike a service dog, a companion animal gets no formal training from its therapy dog breeders. All they have to do is be cute–which they do in spades already.

Do Therapy Dogs Really Work?

The answer is a resounding yes. Just ask the American Psychiatric Organization.

The reasons are easy enough to understand. Body and mind health improves naturally around dogs of all kinds. When you buy a dog, you know you are getting a loyal companion. Dogs will love you until the day they die, regardless of what happens.

Plus, there is a psychological benefit to soft, furry warmth. The Monkey Mother Experiment proved this well enough. Holding, cuddling, or petting a dog creates a sense of security and comfort–two things people with mental health issues need.
