K-9 Therapets of Iowa

Home

Pet Therapy is a useful tool in several areas including speech, occupational, physical, and recreational therapies. Animals can be helpful when traditional methods fail. Often, when an animal is present during therapy, patients become involved interacting with the animals and don't realize the beneficial exercise they are receiving. Because animals provide emotional strenght and pleasant companionship that aids in recovery rehabilitation and quality of life.

The objective of K-9 Therapets of Iowa is to help members with pet assisted therapy and to spread pet assisted therapy in the state of Iowa. We are a group that meets together to get information out and share stories and experiences.
