向日本山口县的84个兽医诊所和792个公共养老院和老年人和/或残疾人服务机构以及老年人日托中心发出了调查问卷[未给出日期]，以确定公众对动物辅助活动和治疗的意见。答复表明，许多兽医以及家庭和服务的行政人员、管理人员和指导人员尚未充分了解动物辅助活动（AAA）和动物辅助治疗（AAT）的概念。他们还表示，许多家庭和服务希望将AAA作为其居民和客户日常活动的一部分，如果它是安全和廉价的。总之，培训兽医，医生和指导员是必要的，以领导这些活动，作为AAA和AAT的专家。
Questionnaires were sent out to 84 veterinary clinics and 792 public homes and services for the aged and/or the handicapped and day care centres for the elderly in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan [date not given], to determine the public opinion on animal-assisted activity and therapy. The responses indicated that many veterinarians, as well as administrators, managers and instructors of the homes and services, have not been well exposed to the concept of animal-assisted activity (AAA) and animal-assisted therapy (AAT). They also indicated that many homes and services wish to include AAA as a part of their daily activities for their dwellers and clients if it is safe and inexpensive. In conclusion, training veterinarians, medical doctors and instructors is necessary to lead such activities, as specialists of AAA and AAT.
