About Pet Prescription Team

What they offer

Pet Prescription Team is an all-volunteer certified therapy dog organization with a published address on Dehesa Road in El Cajon. Its teams visit hospitals, assisted care and rehabilitation facilities, mental health facilities, libraries, hospice programs and schools.

Therapy dog training

Prospective volunteers and their dogs take an eight-week therapy dog training class that trains pet owners and their family pets to make visits. Classes are held inside a facility and use hands-on training to prepare teams for the people and situations they may meet during visits, and the organization offers classes in Los Angeles and San Diego counties.

Background

The site says the founder and director started the organization in 2003 with her husband, and that the couple work side by side helping owners train their pets to become certified therapy dogs.
