The Noosa Pet Parade returned for its second year on Tuesday 27 June at Arcare Noosa with residents and pups enjoying the annual ‘Dog Walk’ and patting sessions.
Afterwards, attendees stayed for ‘Puppy Hour’ for drinks and treats with residents, family, team members and their furry friends.
Twelve dogs, ranging from six months old to 16 years, walked down the Dog Walk and were treated to a participation certificate made by resident Carolyn and a delicious bag of peanut butter and honey dog treats, also made by residents Carolyn, Sandy, Marion, Barbara, Kaye, Shirley, Jeanette, Anne, and Betty.
Science has suggested that pet therapy has many benefits for elderly people, including health benefits such as fewer trips to the doctor.
