eesmärgipärane motiveeriv, hariduslik ja rekreatsiooniline kliendi ja teraapialoomatiimi suhtlus, mida viib läbi teraapialoomatiim ja mille käigus toimuv tegevus on spontaanne

Eestis külastatakse peamiselt haiglaid ja hooldusasutusi

külastuse ehk tegevuse läbiviija omab adekvaatseid teadmisi kaasatava looma käitumisest, vajadustest, tervisest ja stressi indikaatoritest
informal interactions/visitations often conducted on a volunteer basis by the human-animal team for motivational, educational and recreational purposes
There are no treatment goals for the interactions. AAAs are generally facilitated by individuals who do not have a health, education or human service degree. Human-animal teams have received at least introductory training, preparation and assessment to participate in informal visitations. Human-animal teams who provide AAA may also work formally and directly with a healthcare, educator and/or human service provider on specific documentable goals. In this case they are participating in AAT or AAE that is conducted by a specialist in his/her profession. Examples of AAA also include visiting companion animals for ‘meet and greet’ activities with residents in nursing homes, hospitals.
