Hospital Dog—effective, patient-safe, side-effect-free, environmentally safe, cost-effective integrated medicine

Dogs are said to be man’s best friend, and the majority of children like dogs independent of their health status. Since the 1960s, American paediatric oncology departments have used therapy dogs with good results. In Sweden, however, it has been very difficult to bring dogs into emergency hospitals due to unclear hygiene reasons and concerns about allergic reactions.
