How do you ensure animal welfare on set?
At our animal casting agency, we first make sure that all our animals are ethically trained using positive reinforcement techniques. We work only with handlers who uphold the highest welfare standards, ensuring a safe and stress-free experience for the animals. Then, while on set, we take more precautions, from monitoring the animals’ moods to providing vets on set in case of accidents. Our team members pursue a commitment to improving the lives of animals on and off set.
Do you provide dangerous wild animals?
Yes, we provide dangerous wild animals for TV and film productions. We are also the only UK animal casting agency with a Dangerous Wild Animal Licence, allowing us to legally and safely provide these species.
Can you provide animals at short notice?
We always endeavour to do so. While advance booking is ideal, we specialise in rapid-response casting and can often provide animals for marketing or any production project within 24 hours.
What happens if the animal doesn’t perform as expected?
If you don’t get the shots you need, you don’t pay. We offer guaranteed shots whether you need animals for advertising, TV, film, photography or any other project.
