Robotic pets and companions for dementia

About

At Alzheimer’s Society, we understand how important connection and companionship are to the quality of life for people with dementia. Our range of lifelike companion pets – including dogs, cats and birds - are engineered to bring comfort and emotional support. With a variety of breeds available, you can even choose a companion that resembles a childhood or recent pet, evoking feelings of familiarity and nostalgia. Why use our pets and companions? Sensory stimulation: using these products can improve mood and may prompt memories for people with dementia. Life like companionship: our range of realistic pets feel, sound and even breathe like the real thing to soothe, comfort and bring meaningful connection. HUG™ comforter: our soft comforter is made to be cuddled, with weighted limbs and a simulated heartbeat to ease anxiety.
