Abstract
Since there were no research data on the use of neuro service dogs (NSD) in 2018, a comparative case study research design was done. The cases comprised of a caregiver with a person with mild to moderate dementia, and either an NSD (n=5), a companion dog (n=28), or no dog (n=23). Monitor activity and online questionnaires were administrated. Interesting qualitative data on the roles of a NSD, advantages and inconvenients were fully described and published. Quantitative data could not confirm that NSD is benefit-cost, neither that it increases quality of sleep or level of exercise, compared to companion dogs.
