Custom therapy pet trading cards: a friendly handout for every visit

If you visit hospitals, schools, seniors’ homes or libraries with a therapy pet, a trading card gives people something to keep long after the visit is over.

Why therapy pet handlers use trading cards

A therapy visit is brief, and people often meet many animals. A card gives each person a small memento that brings back the visit, and it gives the animal a personality people can remember.

• It breaks the ice. Handing someone a card with a name, a photo and a few fun facts starts conversations, especially with children and shy people.
• It leaves something behind. A card is a lasting thing a person can keep on a fridge, in a wallet or on a bedside table.
• It shows who your pet is. You can list their favourite treats, best friends and hobbies, so people know more than just a name.
• It is handy for the handler. A pack in your bag means every visit ends the same warm way, and you are not rewriting details each time.

Features that suit therapy pets

• Therapy Pet badge. In the builder you can replace the usual power badge with a Therapy Pet badge under the stat bars.
• Card note. Choose Pet Friendly, Ask to Pet, Do Not Pet or Just 4 Looking so the card reflects how your animal likes to be approached.
• Your name and Instagram. Put the handler’s name on the front, and an Instagram handle if you share your pet’s visits online.
• A My Palz code (optional). A small QR code on the back lets people add the card to their own My Palz collection on this site.

How it works
