Yes, this webinar series is entirely educational in nature. Every session is designed to share research-based knowledge about animal-assisted therapy, with a focus on how therapy dogs and cats can support emotional wellbeing within Canadian families. The content draws from peer-reviewed academic journals and established psychological research. Our goal is to help participants gain a deeper understanding of the science behind therapy animal interactions, including the benefits for children, teenagers, adults, and elderly family members. No commercial products or services are promoted during the sessions. All materials and discussions are structured to provide genuine educational value and to encourage informed conversations about animal-assisted approaches to emotional support.
Yes, participation in both sessions of the webinar series is completely free. There are no hidden fees, no premium tiers, and no upsells. We believe that quality educational content about animal-assisted therapy should be accessible to everyone. You simply need to register with your name and email address, and you will receive the webinar link before each session. The organizer, DENTAL SEMINARS LTD, funds this initiative as part of its commitment to providing educational resources about emotional support and family wellbeing. You will never be charged for attending, accessing session recordings, or receiving follow-up educational materials.
No, the webinar does not promote any commercial products, services, or brands. The content is strictly educational and research-based. Our invited expert and all discussion topics are focused solely on sharing knowledge about therapy dogs and cats for emotional support. You will not encounter sales pitches, affiliate links, or product recommendations during the sessions. The purpose of this webinar is to educate Canadian families about the benefits and practical aspects of animal-assisted therapy, drawing on academic research and real-life stories rather than commercial interests. The project is organized as a community educational initiative.
No, the webinar does not constitute professional advice. While the sessions are led by a knowledgeable expert in animal-assisted therapy and family wellbeing, the information shared is intended for general educational purposes only. It should not replace consultations with qualified health professionals, licensed therapists, veterinarians, or other certified practitioners. If you are considering animal-assisted therapy for a specific health condition or family situation, we encourage you to seek personalized guidance from a licensed professional in your area. The webinar aims to raise awareness and help participants understand the research landscape, not to offer individualized treatment recommendations.
Yes, both sessions will be recorded. If you register but are unable to attend the live broadcast, you will receive a link to the recording via email after each session.

The recordings will remain available for a reasonable period after the webinar series concludes. We understand that many families have busy schedules, and we want to ensure that everyone who registers has the opportunity to access the full content of each session, including the interactive discussions and case study presentations.
