Please note that NO metal collars or leashes are allowed while making therapy visits, including pinch collars, metal martingale collars and leashes with metal chains at the end. This is a safety precaution to ensure that delicate skin is not injured while petting our therapy animals. We recommend cloth collars and leashes (retractable leashes are not allowed due to safety concerns), fabric harnesses or head collars of any type. Metal buckles, snaps and clasps are permitted.
