How to be Pet Friendly
Free resources to help your facility become pet-friendly
Collated by the Positive Ageing in the Company of Animals Project, these pet-related policies, guidelines and documents have been shared by aged care providers, support agencies and organisations involved in managing and caring for pets in aged care.
Issues can be managed, nothing is insurmountable ... the benefits to residents and staff when pets are accessible and well managed should not be underestimated.
—Lyndoch Living, Warrnambool
There should be clear guidelines which outline who will train, feed, medicate and exercise the animal … although this sounds like hard work, it succeeds.
—Dutch Care, Kilsyth
