Pets As Therapy

At Pet People, we recognise the importance of supporting charities and organisations that provide exceptional care and comfort to both animals and people. In 2024, we are thrilled to announce our partnership with Pets As Therapy (PAT), a national charity dedicated to enhancing the health and wellbeing of individuals across the UK through animal companionship.

About Pets As Therapy (PAT)

Pets As Therapy is a renowned charity that strives to ensure everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has access to the companionship of an animal. PAT volunteers and their temperament-assessed pets visit various establishments, including care homes, hospitals, hospices, schools, and prisons. These visits bring joy and comfort to countless individuals, allowing them to experience the therapeutic benefits of interacting with friendly dogs and cats.

At Pet People, we are committed to supporting Pets As Therapy in their mission. Our partnership aims to:

  • Raise Awareness: Promote the incredible work done by PAT volunteers and their pets.

  • Encourage Volunteering: Inspire pet owners to consider volunteering their friendly, well-tempered animals to bring smiles to those in need.

  • Support Fundraising: Help raise funds to support PAT’s initiatives and ensure the continuation of their valuable services.
