Did you know that the VA provides benefits for guide and service dogs?
A new video produced by VA’s Prosthetic and Sensory Aids Service discusses how service dogs might be a good option for some veterans living with disabilities.
VA also provides a Q&A on Guide and Service Dogs that explains eligibility and other info.
For anyone interested in this benefit, it may be a solid starting point in your journey to acquiring your very own service dog.
VetsFirst has actively advocated for greater availability of service dogs for veterans who need them. For many, these animals are critical to greater quality of life and independence. They are beneficial to veterans living with a variety of disabilities, including hearing loss, traumatic brain injury, seizures, and mobility issues.
