The Dogtors

We know the science and the research of animal assisted interventions, but it’s always so amazing to see it happen in person 🥹

[Food for Thought 🤔]

Most people don't think about how a session feels from the dog's perspective. Swipe to see why Toki's chair comes with him when he needs it 🪑🐾

At The Dogtors, we believe you can't do good for people by doing harm to animals. Every visit is designed around each dog's individual needs, preferences, and comfort.

100% of seniors felt better after every single session.

Our dogtor teams visited 10 isolated seniors at home in Macpherson over 3 months as part of a home-based animal-assisted programme funded by the SE CDC SEEDS of Wellness Grant.

The results: mood scores improved by 25%, and homebound seniors who rarely left their flats voluntarily walked to the Active Ageing Centre with our Dogtors. One senior’s helper told us she seldom wants to leave the house, but she happily left in her wheelchair with the dogs.

This pilot, run in collaboration with CareElderly@Circuit and SG Cares VC, shows that animal-assisted programmes can reach isolated seniors that traditional outreach cannot.

We’re now looking to expand this model to more communities. If you work in senior care, community services, or know an organisation that could benefit, DM us or reach out at [email protected]. Together, we can bring comfort to those who need it most.

🐾🕵️ Meet Dogtor Dobby!

Dogtor Dobby will be joining us at Doggie Detectives on 20 Dec 2025, and he’s ready to charm everyone he meets!

💛 This sweet Corgi may have short legs, but he has a BIG heart. Known as our little jetsetter, Dobby loves going on adventures and travelling the world with his human.

With his gentle nature and cheerful spirit, Dobby helps little Doggie Detectives feel relaxed and excited as they explore the world of dogs through play and discovery.

Together with his human, Dobby will guide kids in understanding doggie body language, practising kind and respectful interactions, and learning that every dog - no matter their size - has something special to teach us. ✨

✨ Want to meet Dobby and join him on this pawsome adventure? Come join us!
