BACKSTAGE

THERAPY

Backstage Therapy© is an exclusive offer from Züripets® GmbH

Certified therapy dogs for emotional relief - whether backstage, on tour or in the studio.

Animal-assisted relief in Zurich for artists, crews & VIPs: Züripets® stands for quality, heart and trust - not only our regular customers know this, but also event organizers, artists and film productions. With our "Züripets® Backstage Therapy©" service, we specifically use certified dogs for emotional relief in the VIP area - professionally accompanied, in compliance with animal welfare regulations and with a great deal of sensitivity.

Our regular services such as day and vacation care etc. will of course remain completely independent of this.

BACKSTAGE- WELLBEING

What is Züripets® Backstage Therapy?

A mobile, internationally deployable service for animal-assisted stress reduction in sensitive areas such as artists' dressing rooms, backstage areas, TV studios or VIP lounges. Our certified therapy and visiting dogs provide closeness, peace and security - exactly when tension rises, time is pressing or a quiet moment gives strength.

Whether it's a TV production, concert tour, festival or fashion event - we provide discreet, empathetic support to the highest standards. Confidentiality, hygiene concepts and animal welfare are the focus of every assignment.

Our assignments can be planned individually and flexibly according to the processes on site - professionally coordinated with stage management, security and artist support. Züripets® Backstage Therapy is not a show, but a respectful contribution to the emotional well-being of people who are in the limelight.
