Working dogs are extraordinarily valuable animals. Selecting, purchasing, and training them takes time and money. They play central roles in their handlers’ lives or perform critical tasks for society. Their lives can entail much higher physical, cognitive and behavioral demands than the average pet. The AAHA Working, Assistance, and Therapy Dog Guidelines help all of us in veterinary medicine understand and serve these dogs’ needs. The guidelines are worthwhile reading for all members of your practice team.

To learn more, check out the following article by Merck Animal Health’s Dr. Mark Pelham, where he shares key points of the guidelines that will make a difference in your practice:
