Animals are just the best aren't they? I had a rat that was absolutely awesome, he defiantly helped me a lot though I never took him to therapy as at that time I didn't go.

With my one therapist I brought one of my Guinea Pigs. She didn't much like them, but she respected that fact that they helped me and was happy to let them come if it helped me with my anxiety. (Which is great)

I now have a Service Dog that I, of course, bring to the psychiatrist and therapist office. The psychiatrist doesn't like dogs but doesn't mind Bella being there because she's so well behaved. My therapist has dogs of her own, and really likes Bella and chats with me about dogs which is awesome.
