Wagging Tails Pet Therapy is an animal-assisted therapy service based in Eastbourne that harnesses the proven benefits of human-animal interaction to improve physical and mental wellbeing. The business specialises in bringing trained therapy animals into care settings, hospitals, schools, and community environments across East Sussex.
The service is designed for vulnerable populations including elderly residents in care homes, patients in healthcare settings, children with behavioural or emotional difficulties, and individuals experiencing social isolation or mental health challenges. Wagging Tails recognises that pets provide genuine emotional support and comfort that can reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure, and encourage social engagement.
What sets Wagging Tails apart is their commitment to professional, evidence-based pet therapy rather than casual pet visits. Their animals are specifically selected, trained, and assessed for temperament to ensure safe, appropriate interactions. The team understands trauma-informed care principles and works sensitively with vulnerable groups.
Based in Eastbourne, they're well-positioned to serve care facilities, day centres, schools, and community groups throughout the town and surrounding areas. Their flexible approach allows for both regular weekly visits and one-off sessions tailored to organisational needs.
The therapy model recognises that structured animal visits create meaningful moments of connection and can significantly enhance quality of life, particularly for those who may feel disconnected or lonely in institutional settings.
