Meet Poppy, the newest addition to our activities team who is now an officially recognised “Pets as Therapy” accredited dog. Poppy had to undertake a full assessment by a vet who assessed her temperament and health with regards suitability to be a a visiting “PAT” dog. Of course Poppy, who has been visiting the home for the past six months and making friends with the residents, passed with flying colours.
Pets as Therapy dogs are recognised by the Royal College of Nursing and welcomed by medical authorities in many areas as bringing friendship and increased health and well being to those that they meet.
We all look forward to having many happy hours with Poppy, welcome aboard! #TeamBakewells
