with a PAT Dog

All breeds of dog can become part of a PAT Team, they must have been with their owner for at least 6 months, be over 9 months of age and be able to pass the temperament assessment. All pets must be fully vaccinated.

To request our dog visiting team application pack please complete the form below. We will send your application pack as soon as possible. Application packs are only available to residents of the United Kingdom who are over 18 years old.

Unfortunately, we cannot support you if you wish to have your dog at the workplace with you as we do not have the assessment process or the insurance to cover this. If you would like to become a volunteer with your dog and would be able to visit within our guidelines please complete the form below.
