Real Pets vs. Memorable Pets — Dementia Caregiving

Real live therapy dogs are awesome for people with the earlier stages of Alzheimer's! However, as the disease progresses to the mid and later stages most people can't be around a live animal.  This is where Memorable Pets steps in!!  A Memorable Pet dog or cat provides a means to love and care for something.  This need to nurture increases as the dementia takes over parts of the brain.

Here is our Memorable Pet Collie and our original Lassie dogs.  I love how real they look! They are... Comforting. Loving. Nurturing.
