FAQ
Everything you need to know about us
What types of animals do you work with?
Our team is experienced with a wide variety of animals, from horses and dogs to exotic species like lions, elephant seals, and gorillas. Every animal is trained and handled with care to ensure safety and performance on set.
How long does training take before a shoot?
Training times vary depending on the animal and the complexity of the role. Some behaviours can be prepared in a few weeks, while others may require months of conditioning. We work closely with your production schedule to ensure readiness.
Are the animals safe and well cared for?
Yes, animal welfare is at the heart of everything we do. All animals are trained with positive reinforcement and cared for by qualified handlers, zookeepers, or veterinary-trained staff. Their wellbeing is always our top priority.
Can you provide animals for live events as well as film?
Absolutely. In addition to film and television, we support advertising, stage performances, and live shows. Our team ensures smooth logistics and professional handling in every environment.
What happens after filming wraps?
Once production is complete, animals return to our purpose-built property where they continue to receive expert care and enrichment. We also provide ongoing support if you require additional shoots, reshoots, or long-term animal availability.
