Pet Pals Program at UH
Pet Pals are pet therapy dogs that provide a comforting source of healing touch for children and adults in the hospital.
A facility dog is different from a therapy dog in that it is a permanent member of the UH staff who works a 40 hour week. The facility dogs are specially trained and allowed to comfort patients going through clinical procedures such as chemotherapy.
Thank you for Your Support
As the Pet Pals Program continues to grow across the health system, additional support is needed. The costs associated with the program include training for both the dog and dog owner, semiannual lab testing of animals, education on hospital policies for volunteers and support materials.
