I took my first dog with me to the first therapist I ever saw. She was a puppy and I worked a regular lawyer day at the time and so I felt awful about crating her again just to see a therapist. I would not take my dogs now. And I absolutely do not want the woman's dog there. I did not find my dog useful to be there, it was more just the circumstances. I bond to the pets quite easily and I have had two therapists tell me it is the only area I show softness around. If that is true, I certainly would not take the pet in.
