Puppy Therapy
Ethical Puppy Therapy Cuddle Sessions & Corporate Events
Puppy therapy is a gentle, evidence-informed wellness experience that supports emotional regulation, stress relief, and connection through calm, intentional interactions with puppies. At Pudgy’s Place, our puppy cuddle sessions are rooted in ethical rescue practices, trauma-informed care, and respect for both human and puppy wellbeing.
Our puppy therapy offerings include guided cuddle sessions and on-site corporate puppy therapy events, all led by trained staff and featuring healthy, socialized rescue puppies from our care.
What Is Puppy Therapy?
Puppy therapy is a form of animal-assisted wellness that uses positive, low-stress interactions with puppies to support mental and emotional wellbeing. These sessions are designed to be calming rather than stimulating, focusing on gentle touch, presence, and connection.
Why Puppy Therapy Is Beneficial
Research in animal-assisted therapy shows that interactions with animals can help reduce stress hormones, support nervous system regulation, and increase feelings of comfort and connection.
Emotional & Mental Health Benefits

Ease feelings of burnout or overwhelm

The Power of Safe Connection
For many people, gentle interaction with puppies offers a grounding, non-judgmental form of comfort — especially during periods of grief, stress, or emotional fatigue.
Our Approach to Ethical Puppy Therapy
Puppy Welfare Comes First
Because our puppies are rescues, their wellbeing always comes first. Puppy therapy sessions include only puppies who are healthy, vaccinated, dewormed, and comfortable participating, with staff monitoring interactions and providing breaks as needed to ensure a calm, supportive environment.

Our puppy therapy cuddle sessions offer a calm, cozy environment where participants can relax and connect with rescue puppies at their own pace.
