Understanding the Diversity of Consumer Experiences with Navigating Canada’s Service Dog Industry
The lack of publicly available demographic and prevalence data on service dog (SDog) teams in Canada challenges our understanding of how and to what degree limited industry regulations, unharmonized standards, differing pathways to acquiring an SDog, and other variables can affect individuals with disabilities’ (i.e., handlers/consumers) ability to acquire, train with, or live with an SDog in Canada. The present study aims to develop empirical kn…
Three’s company? Examining the association between dog ownership and intimacy, jealousy, and satisfaction in romantic couples
Background : Dogs in North American households are increasingly seen as integral parts of the family. Yet, limited research has been conducted exploring how dog ownership affects romantic relationships. To explore these dynamics, we examined the association of dogs with romantic relationship elements using work-family conflict, resource allocation, attachment, and family systems theories. Methods : An online cross-sectional survey was conducted w…
Development of a Standardized Scale Measuring Public Beliefs and Knowledge About Service Dogs
The effect of service dogs on veterans’ romantic partners and relationships
Romantic partners are often key supports for veterans diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, a PTSD diagnosis among veterans is often associated with lower relationship satisfaction and quality. To help reduce their PTSD symptomology, some veterans are more regularly relying on the help of service dogs (SDs). Relatively little is known about how SDs affect romantic relationships and veterans’ romantic partners. The current …
Stigma and Stereotyping of Veterans who May Benefit from a Psychiatric Service Dog
Among veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and comorbid substance use disorder (SUD), stigma has been identified as a frequent barrier to help-seeking and treatment. Stigma can also lead to the activation of stereotypes and discrimination. Increasingly, veterans are relying on psychiatric service dogs (PSDs) to aid in managing their PTSD and comorbid SUD. Consumer demand currently exceeds the availability of PSDs in Canada, and very…

Socioeconomic differences in parental financial support, coresidence, and advice
In this paper, we examine the intersections of parental support and family socioeconomic background within an undergraduate sample (N = 596) in a mid-sized Canadian Prairie city. Coresidence, financial support, and parental and professional financial advice are examined as types of 'family capital' that may be distributed unequally across socioeconomic groups. In keeping with previous literature, findings showed that students whose parents had un…
Examining Changes in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms and Substance Use Among a Sample of Canadian Veterans Working with Service Dogs
Comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use (SU) is a growing health concern among Canadian veterans. Veterans are increasingly seeking symptom relief for PTSD and comorbid SU by engaging service dogs (SDs). Despite promising results, the efficacy of SDs in aiding veterans warrants further investigation. An exploratory patientoriented, longitudinal, time-series, mixed-methods research design was employed with a sample of five …

This paper is part of a larger study that examined a cohort of 5 veterans, over a 1-year period, who used both medical cannabis and alcohol and were matched with a PTSD service dog. This paper compares the perceptions and use of alcohol and medical can…
