Reduce Your Stress with Therapy Dog Activities

PAWS Your Stress Therapy Dog Program

The PAWS Your Stress program is offered by a caring team of students, researchers, professionals, and most important, volunteer therapy dogs and handlers!  


The program was founded in 2013 by the Office of the Centennial Enhancement Chair in One Health & Wellness at the USask. It is offered today in partnership with Peer Health, the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog program, and the PAWSitive Connections Lab.   


The therapy dogs in the PAWS Your Stress program are very active visiting Saskatoon.

Therapy Dogs at Saskatoon Vaccination Clinics!

Our Therapy Dogs have been safely visiting vaccination clinics in Saskatoon to offer comfort and support to the people attending, as well as friendly visits with staff, since 2020.
