Puppies, Kittens & Goats
Each puppy, kitten, and goat participating in our events is vaccinated, health-checked, bathed, and groomed prior to joining the sessions. We structure our events to include adequate play and rest breaks, ensuring they are not overstimulated, in alignment with the breeder’s preferred schedule. These pets always have access to fresh water, food, and toys according to their individual needs and the breeder’s training guidelines.
To become one of our trusted breeder partners, we ensure that our collaborators are highly experienced, registered breeders with expert knowledge and a deep passion for their pets. Our process includes a detailed application and interview to assess potential families for each pet. Additionally, we implement a comprehensive legal document that protects the health, welfare, happiness, and ethical treatment of the pets throughout the process.
We work with breeders who are committed to the lifelong well-being of the pets and agree to take them back should a family no longer be a suitable match, ensuring they are responsibly rehomed and never end up in shelters or rescue systems.
Unless due to an emergency, our breeder partners are always onsite to ensure the well-being of our pets and to ensure safe fun interaction with the participants.
Our partners do not breed pets specifically for our events. Instead, we collaborate exclusively with ethical, responsible breeders who allow us to invite their puppies, kittens, and goats for short visits before they are rehomed with their new families.
To create a calm and enjoyable environment for both the pets and participants, we limit the number of participants per session. Our staff provides guidance on proper handling techniques, ensuring that the pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In turn, we also take measures to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants. Clear instructions are given to minimize any risks associated with interacting with the pets, such as keeping a safe distance if needed or being cautious with certain pet behaviors.
We prioritize cleanliness and maintain a sanitized environment to protect the health of the pets and ensure a safe, hygienic experience for all participants. Our cleaning protocol uses the same disinfectants found in veterinary clinics and pet hospitals.
Hand sanitizer is provided to all participants before and after the session. In addition, participants are asked to remove their shoes, and feet and socks are cleaned with appropriate wipes. Baby wipes are also provided to gently clean areas where the pets may have made contact, such as their mouths, chins, and necks.
We ask participants to wear clean clothing and socks, removing any jewelry or accessories that may pose a risk to the pets. All safety measures are designed to create a secure environment for both pets and attendees.
Every event includes an informative introduction on the importance of pet welfare and responsible pet care. We work with local veterinarians and trainers to offer valuable insights and tips on pet health and well-being. We also include a brief safety orientation for participants to ensure they feel informed and comfortable during their interactions with the pets.
While puppy, kitten, and goat yoga is fun, it also serves a greater purpose – spreading joy and fostering community connections. We have had the privilege of participating in community events, including collaborations with Autism Ontario and CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind), where we helped provide therapeutic and joyful experiences for children with autism and individuals with vision loss.
Additionally, we proudly support charitable initiatives such as the Global Giving Fundraiser with Morningstar and Cause for Paw Fundraisers, which aim to support pet welfare, rescue efforts, and provide critical resources to those in need. Through these events and fundraisers, we inspire participants to advocate for pet welfare, consider adopting pets in need, and contribute to meaningful causes.
We welcome only those who show kindness, patience, and respect for the pets. We reserve the right to remove any participant whose actions may inadvertently stress or harm the pets or pose a safety risk to themselves or others.
We are committed to continuously improving our programs based on feedback, ensuring the ongoing well-being of both the pets and the participants.
