Wild Science Animal Therapy
The benefits of animal therapy are well documented; simple interactions, such as stroking, is beneficial to people of all ages.
Different animals bring different textures and personalities to the session. A mixture of cute fluffy animals and silky smooth reptiles provide a great experience that stays with people long after they leave.
Animal therapy is the ideal way for residents who may be less mobile to interact with animals and benefit from a new and unique experience.
