Animal Play Therapy

Animal Interaction Therapy is a dynamic and hands-on modality designed to foster physical connections between participants and small animals, specifically guinea pigs.

This therapeutic approach allows participants to engage in meaningful interactions, nurturing a sense of trust and care for these gentle creatures. Through these interactions, participants experience significant improvements in self-confidence and self-esteem.

What to Expect

In our Animal Interaction Therapy sessions, participants of all ages are encouraged to:

  • Play and Pat Guinea Pigs: Engage in playful activities and gentle patting, forming bonds with the guinea pigs.
  • Cuddle and Feed Guinea Pigs: Enjoy the calming experience of cuddling and feeding, fostering a nurturing relationship with the animals.


These activities not only provide joy and relaxation but also serve as a catalyst for emotional and cognitive development.
