Our “Take a Paws” Programme brings our Dogtors and their humans to workplaces, schools, universities, and more.
Research has shown that interactive sessions with dogs can provide emotional, physiological, mental and social benefits, through the release of chemicals in the body such as endorphins and oxytocin. These sessions can lead to a decrease in anxiety, stress, and improvement in mood. Our canine teams can also act as social lubricants, helping to foster better relationships between individuals in your organisation.

Once we have received your request for a session, we will try our best to reply to you within 2 working days. We try to finalise the number of teams 2 weeks prior to the session.
Once we receive your request for a session, we will get in touch with you to discuss the details, such as the venue, number of participants and any other special requests. Please note that we are legally required to comply with the latest COVID-19 measures.
While we would appreciate at least 4 weeks notice, we will try our best to accommodate your requests.
Our activities would take place in a common area, which may be indoors or outdoors. Individuals allergic to dogs are not encouraged to participate in our programme. However, we have had participants with allergies take an antihistamine prior to the start of the session.
Generally, each session occurs in a common area of your facility. One of our staff will briefly share about our organisation, what we do, as well as the benefits that pets can bring to our lives with proper care and training.
Our Dogtors and their handlers will then interact with participants through activities such as petting, grooming, tricks, or other games. Our dogs will naturally help to facilitate conversation and connection between individuals.
As a responsible animal-assisted service provider, we ensure that our well-trained and well-behaved Dogtors do not create messes at our client’s premises.
We establish clear guidelines and protocols for our visits, require all dogs to do their business just before the start of a session, and closely supervise the dogs during their visits and take them out for breaks when necessary. Our handlers are equipped to address any issues that may arise, and we prioritise maintaining a clean and professional environment during our visits.
Yes we do.
