You may have heard the term “animal-assisted therapy” but are not sure what it’s about. Maybe you have a friend, co-worker, or someone you know who’s dealing with stress or an illness such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, schizophrenia, or addiction.

Here’s what animal assisted therapy is:

It is an intervention where an animal improves an individual’s or group’s well-being. Animal-assisted therapy is often provided in conjunction with traditional intervention by a psychotherapist or another mental health care provider. Two common animals used in animal-assisted therapy are dogs and horses. Various studies show that these animals are calming and soothing.

The Service Animal Registry of California invites you to have your assistance animal registered in order to designate its status. We also encourage you to take our online classes so you can be fully aware of your rights and gain more knowledge about your support animal.

Finally, we present to you our book entitled, “ASSISTANCE ANIMAL LAWS: LEARN YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS, THERAPY PETS, AND OTHER DOGS, CATS, AND ASSISTANCE ANIMALS” to provide you with a complete education on assistance animals.
