Pet Therapy

Pet Therapy enhances the patient’s hospital experience while simultaneously offering therapeutic benefits. A cat or dog, even if it isn’t the family pet, can be a tremendous comfort to a child who is separated from the comforts of home.

Covenant Children's welcomes pet handlers and their pets to pay a visit to children in the hospital. All pet therapy is coordinated through our Guest Services team to ensure coordination of services and safety of our patients.

Pets and their handlers come to Covenant Children’s on a regular basis to visit patients and pet therapy can be requested. If interested, request pet therapy through your patient care team!
