Pets As Therapy (PAT) is a national charity that enhances the health and wellbeing of thousands of people in communities across the UK. Our volunteers and their temperament-assessed pets visit establishments such as care homes, hospitals, hospices, schools and prisons, and bring smiles to many faces. People of all ages get the chance to chat to someone — and stroke and cuddle a friendly dog or cat.

Who's heading to DogFest this weekend? 🐶 We had such an amazing time last year that we just had to come back!

To keep our PAT dogs safe we've decided not to have any of our four-legged friends on the stand as it is just too hot.

We can’t wait to see you there!☀️

Here are our top tips to keep your pets cool in hot weather ☀️ Remember, all establishments would sooner see a healthy, happy pet rather than one that is struggling.

If it is too hot to walk your pet at the time of your visit, it may still be safe to attend if you can keep your pet cool whilst travelling in the car. Ensure the establishment has a cool environment, as visiting in a hot environment can be exhausting and stressful for your pet.

Meet Albert, our newest PAT cat! 😺

Albert is a gentle and loving Blue Russian. Just over one years old, Albert's calm demeanour and soothing presence make him a natural therapy animal. His silvery blue coat and captivating green eyes bring joy and comfort to residents, helping them feel more at ease and connected.

Albert’s visits are a reminder of the powerful bond between humans and animals. We are proud to have him as part of our team and look forward to many more visits that will continue to make a difference in the lives of those he meets.

We just had to share these ADORABLE pictures with you all!

One of our amazing PAT Dogs, Luna, has just welcomed a litter of adorable puppies over the weekend! 🐶

She had 2 girls and 2 boys, all healthy and happy, and Luna’s proving to be a wonderful mum. Don’t worry, she’s currently enjoying a well-deserved maternity leave! 💛

Happy Pride Month from the Pets As Therapy team 🏳️‍🌈❤️

Whether it's a gentle paw, a wagging tail, or a comforting purr, our therapy pets remind us that everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, and loved — just as they are.

Some of our amazing volunteers have been part of the PAT pack for many years, including Jenny, who became a VAC in 1990. She visits with Rusty, her eighth PAT Dog.

“If you can make someone smile and brighten their day it’s a rich reward for giving a couple of hours of your time. It may be you in that hospital bed one day.”

Jenny Whitfield, PAT Volunteer and Assessor from Somerset.

It’s Volunteers’ Week and we’re celebrating. Did you know, you don’t need to own a pet to volunteer with PAT? Many of our Assessors just love being around animals.

“I find volunteering so rewarding. It gives me a sense of fulfilment as I’m helping animals to help humans and that in turn helps with positive mental health.”

Reeta Minhas-Judd, PAT Assessor from London.
