Pet Therapy

The therapy dogs from St. John Ambulance Pet Therapy Program are part of the volunteer team at Southlake Regional Health Centre.  Their presence provides a unique service not only to the patient, but staff members and visitors alike.

A warm, responsive pet, these animals offer unconditional support. Stroking, holding them close and petting these dogs has provided warmth and affection to those in hospital who wish to have a visit from one of these dogs. 

St. John Ambulance Therapy Dogs are a free community service. If you are interested in a pet visit, please inform your health care provider.

If you would like more information about the program please phone 1-800-268-7581.
