ASSISTANCE DOGS are dogs that have been specially trained to perform the task of assisting people with disabilities, improving their independence and quality of life. Do you or someone you know has or has a dog like this? If so, what do you need to keep it?

This is any dog that has been individually trained to do work and perform tasks for a person with a disability. Including physical, sensory, mental, intellectual or other disabilities. They are considered "medical equipment," just like, for example, crutches or a wheelchair for a person with a physical disability, or a glucose meter for a person with diabetes. These dogs should be registered at https://myserviceanimal.org/ where you can find out everything you need to know for this procedure.

The work or tasks performed by an assistance dog must be directly related to the owner's disability or illness and must be intended to partially compensate for those limitations and increase the independence and autonomy of the individual.

Hi everyone! Many people, like myself, I'm sure, suffer from health issues, which have an impact on my skin's health. I struggled with this issue on my own for a long time until realizing it was time to seek medical help. I had had enough of putting up with it and decided it was time to see a specialist. I received assistance from prescribed skin care, where I received prompt and helpful advice and they advised the best solution for my problem. I'm very pleased with the outcome.
