Capture Consent for Therapy Animal Recording with Confidence

When running an animal-assisted therapy program, capturing photos and videos of sessions can be powerful for promoting your services, training new handlers, and demonstrating impact to stakeholders. But protecting participant privacy and securing proper permissions is absolutely essential.

This Therapy Animal Interaction Recording Consent Form gives animal-assisted therapy providers, healthcare facilities, and nonprofit programs a professional way to obtain clear, documented consent before recording any therapy animal sessions.

Built for Animal-Assisted Therapy Programs

Whether you're running therapy dog visits at hospitals, equine-assisted psychotherapy sessions, or facility-based animal interaction programs, this template covers the full consent journey. Participants and guardians can specify exactly what types of recording they're comfortable with—photos, video, or audio—and precisely how those materials can be used, from internal training to social media promotion.

The form includes conditional logic that adapts based on participant age, ensuring parental consent is captured when needed, and separate authorization from therapy animal handlers who also have rights over how their animals are portrayed.
