Pets play an important role in many people’s lives and are
often considered members of the family. Pets can offer
companionship, affection, topics for conversation, and
opportunities for reminiscing.
Because of these many benefits, we offer an animal-assisted
therapy program called Pets at Duke (PAD).
Participating dogs are "therapy-certified", have completed
animal-assisted therapy training sessions, and are accompanied
by their owners.
