St John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program I receive alot of requests for information therapy dog certification and work. St John’s Ambulance is a great resource. This is from their website:” St. John Ambulance Therapy Dogs are part of a team consisting of a volunteer handler and their pet companion dog.  These teams have undergone screening for suitability that includes criminal record checks, references, dog evaluations and canine vaccinations.  Our members are volunteers that dedicate their personal time to bring the companionship of a dog to those that would benefit from some comfort and touch from a canine. “.

Health:

Nutriscan   This food sensitivity test was developed by a well respected and world-renowned veterinarian Dr. Jean Dofdds, and is easy to administer and results come to you and your vet. I have used it on the recommendation of my vet and found the results detailed and helpful.  From the website :  “Nutriscan, the novel patented salivary-based food sensitivity and intolerance test offers a reliable and clinically predictive alternative to food elimination trials, serum-based food allergy testing, and skin patch testing. Two completed, double-blinded clinical trial studies validated the test and affirmed its clinical utility.”.
