Can people in hospitals catch diseases from animals?
Some people think the animals that visit are cleaner than people who visit! Before animals can be registered as Pet Partners, they must have a thorough veterinary checkup. In addition, it is the handler’s responsibility prior to each visit to look for any signs of ill health or parasites, bathe and groom their animal, file toenails smooth, etc. Facilities welcome Pet Partner visiting animals with open arms – as they are healthy, clean model citizens!
