Robotic Companion Pets can be hugely beneficial for people living with dementia and Alzheimer's; people with parkinson's, the elderly, and anybody suffering from mental health issues. An effective, drug-free way to calm and soothe is to give them a soft toy they can cuddle and interact with.

People with Alzheimer's and dementia frequently become agitated, anxious and frustrated and could benefit from a pet, but would have difficulty in managing the safe care of a real animal. The robotic pets move, purr, bark and respond when petted or hugged. Some think these are real animals and feel a sense of purpose when they pet and care for them. Others may simply enjoy them as a fun, cuddly interactive toy. Many caregivers report that after giving their patient a robotic animal, theyve seen positive results like increased happiness and calm, reduced agitation and anxiety, increased engagement through playing and talking with their companion, having a sense of purpose from caring for their pet, reliving happy memories of a previous dog or cat and giving visitors (especially children) something to focus on and interact with for more successful visits.
