What is Züripets® Backstage Therapy™and what is it for?

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 spotlight.

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

The service provides support in dealing with:

  • Stress and burnout

  • Performance pressure (on- and off-stage)

  • Addictions and coping with addiction

  • Relationship problems and conflicts

  • Work-life balance and satisfaction

  • Self-awareness, self-control and self-care

  • Loneliness and isolation

  • Maintaining physical & mental health
