Traveling Petting Zoo for Nursing Home Animal Therapy in Ohio
Jungle Island Zoo LLC provides a mobile petting zoo for senior centers in Ohio. Pet therapy is a low-stimulation form of therapy for senior citizens, especially those living in nursing homes. Pet therapy can help increase mental and physical activity, as well as increase individual self-esteem.
