Is anyone here with service dog

[Guest_9475]

Hey im new here. Im thinking of getting a small pound pup and buy a vest online to be a service dog animal so i can take my dog everywhere. My psychologist suggested the idea for my anxiety is anyone on here with a service dog for advice?

Hi Ponyland

Welcome to the forums and good on you for posting re Service Dogs

I know a guy who has one...His 'service' dog is a Blue Heeler and wears the florescent vest with 'Carer dog' on it...so yes they do exist and are a huge help to anyone with a mental health condition

I have been heavily involved in dog rescue for a long time and currently have a Chow Chow/German Shep cross rescue dog thats a handful yet he probably wouldnt qualify as a 'service' dog for my mental health

Your psychologist's idea is an excellent one!

great post Ponyland...I hope that other members can help out if they know anyone with a 'Carer/Service Dog'

my kind thoughts
