🐾 Last week we had the pleasure of visiting with the incredible team at Stryker! A HUGE thank you to everyone there for warmly welcoming our therapy dogs and their handlers. 🐶💜 Therapy dog visits at the workplace aren’t just about cute, furry friends—they bring real benefits to the team. Research shows that pet therapy can help reduce stress, boost morale, and create a calming work environment. It's always heartwarming and fascinating to see how just a few minutes with a therapy dog can spark meaningful connections and conversations among colleagues. Thank you, Stryker, for recognizing the power of pet therapy in the workplace and supporting our Paws to De-Stress program! Looking forward to more visits together. 🐾✨ #TherapyDogs #WellbeingAtWork #CorporateWellness #PetTherapy #MentalHealthAwareness #catdogsinc

It's #FeelGoodFriday and today we’re sharing a special moment from C.A.T. therapy dog, Chase, who had the honor of attending the deployment of 67 soldiers at the Armed Forces Reserve Center in Palm Beach. As they gathered with their families over breakfast and lunch, hosted by the American Legion, Chase was right there to offer tail wags and comforting snuggles. It was a meaningful day to connect with soldiers and their families before their journey ahead. 🇺🇸 We’re grateful for these service members’ dedication and the chance to send these men and women off on a “paw-sitive” note. 🐾💜 #catdogsinc #TherapyDog #MilitaryFamily #SupportOurTroops #PetTherapy #CommunityLove #FeelGoodFriday

Today's #feelgoodfriday vibes are made possible by UKG. Thanks to their generous support, our therapy dogs are spreading love and comfort throughout the community this October. From uplifting seniors at Discovery Village Assisted Living & Memory Care to sparking joy in the ER at Broward Health, bringing smiles to pediatric patients at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, and supporting those in Mental Health America’s Suicide Support Group, these amazing pups are transforming lonely moments into meaningful connections. Let's let their joy and warmth rub off on us today! With supporters like UKG, together, we’re building stronger, more inclusive communities. Our therapy dogs remind us of what we all share: a desire to feel loved and connected. Here’s to brighter days, wagging tails, and the strength we find in each other. #catdogsinc #UKG #community #southflorida #pettherapy #TherapyDogs #FeelGoodFriday #CommunitySupport #StrongerTogether #Inclusivity #MakingADifference

Last month, we had the pleasure of touring the incredible Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, and we couldn't be more impressed! 🙌 The care, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail in this facility are truly remarkable. From creating comforting spaces to ensuring that pediatric patients and their families feel at home—complete with fun activities that engage the children and allow them to simply be kids—Joe DiMaggio goes above and beyond. Their commitment to making every child’s stay more comfortable and filled with joy is evident in every corner of the hospital. We are so excited to partner with this amazing facility to bring the healing power of pet therapy to their brave pediatric patients and families. 🐶💜 It's an honor to be a part of their mission and contribute to creating uplifting moments during such challenging times. A heartfelt thank you to Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital for welcoming us, and we can't wait to bring some pawsitive energy to the children and families in their care! 🐾✨🤗 #PetTherapy #Partnership #PediatricCare #JoeDiMaggio #TherapyDogs #Catdogsinc #PawsitiveHealing #NonprofitWork #ChildrensHealth

It's #FeelGoodFriday and today our therapy dogs had a paw-sitively awesome time at the ribbon cutting for the new Scooby-Doo exhibit at the @Museum of Discovery and Science, presented locally by Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, Florida Prepaid College Plans and produced by The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. Our pet therapy teams were on hand to welcome excited students ready to do some detective work! While Scooby-Doo might be famous for solving mysteries, our therapy dogs specialize in solving stress and bringing smiles! It was a perfect day for some Scooby snacks and tail wags! We 💜 our community. 🌎 #catdogsinc #TherapyDogs #ScoobyDoo #FeelGoodVibes #CommunityLove #pettherapy
