Welcome to our dedicated area for our animal therapy visits

We educate, amaze and inspire the young and the elderly by our ethical and engaging hands on animal encounters.

Our animal therapy sessions are designed to stimulate and engage, whilst promoting mental well-being.

Animal-assisted therapy sessions can; help bring people together, help people to see things with a different perspective and to cope in the most adverse situations. 

We find our work very rewarding, visiting places such as care homes for the elderly, children’s hospices and in pupil referral units. It is all about making people’s lives better! We offer three unique packages designed with something to appeal to everybody.

We offer 6 types of animals for therapy visits
Exotic Mobile Zoo
Meerkats
Miniature Pony
Donkey
Alpacas

Exotic Mobile Zoo

Our Exotic Mobile Zoo therapy is an extremely hands on affair! We will visit your care home with a collection of our exotic animals and allowing residents to touch, hold, or, depending on how brave they feel, just look.

Animals that may attend include: Corn Snakes, Royal Python, Bearded Dragons, Leopard Geckos, Large Tortoises, Hissing Cockroaches and African Land Snails.

This is an interactive session with lots of fun and allowing LOTS OF INTERACTION.

Meerkat Vision Therapy

Our Meerkats will entertain anyone and everyone with their playful, mischievous behaviour.

Our Meerkats are not handle-able and are only used for viewing purposes only.

We will arrive 30 minutes before your session start time to allow us time to set our 6 x 6

foot enclosure up in a room convenient to you. 

Your residents can sit around the enclosure and be entertained by the non-stop antics of these adorable creatures.
