Althea Canines offers puppy Wellness visits!

Althea Canines offers Puppy Visits to agencies and organizations at no fee. When we have puppies, we can schedule a visit when they are between the ages of 6.5 weeks and 8.5 weeks. We offer this as a stand-alone service, or we also offer it in conjunction to a presentation that shares valuable information on 

Service Animals, Facility/Therapy/Peer Support Dogs, and Emotional Support Animals. 

According to the Mayo Health Clinic there are many benefits to puppy snuggles. They include: 

• Reduced symptoms of depression
• Lower perception of social isolation
• Increased self-confidence
• Comfort and emotional support
• Improved cognitive function
• Decreased agitated behaviors in seniors with dementia
• Unconditional love and support

We provide puppy snuggles to Senior Care Facilities, Law Enforcement Agencies, Fire, First Responder Dispatch Centers, City offices, Education Facilities (Pre-K through Graduate and Specialty Education Programs), and events such as Nurses Week and conferences for First Responders or Military.
