FANCY A CUDDLE FROM THERAPET HUGO

Therapets are increasingly active in all parts of NHS Grampian working their calming magic on patients.

Therapets regularly visit hospitals in Aberdeen. There are now five dogs visiting patients in the Royal Cornhill Hospital, meeting with both adults and children. There are also a number of “doggie” visitors spread throughout the wards in ARI, and also visiting the stroke Unit at Woodend.

If you know someone who would appreciate a visit from a Therapet, you can contact Canine Concern by phoning 0131 553 0034 or by emailing info@canineconcernscotland.org.uk
