Coco & Chenel

Resident Support Dog

Summary

At Veda, healing often comes with four paws, a wagging tail, and a warm heart. Our resident therapy dogs are cherished members of our family, bringing comfort, companionship, and moments of joy to everyone they meet.

Whether they are quietly sitting beside someone during a difficult day, greeting visitors with excitement, or offering a gentle nudge for attention, they have a remarkable ability to make people feel safe, accepted, and cared for. Their presence helps create a welcoming and homely environment where clients and staff alike can relax, connect, and simply be themselves.

Always ready with unconditional affection, comforting cuddles, and endless enthusiasm, our furry companions remind us of the healing power of kindness, connection, and living in the present moment.

And while all of their services are completely free of charge, they are always happy to accept a treat, a belly rub, or a few extra scratches behind the ears as payment.
