Testimonials

"Wow! I have just been screening the rushes and can only say how thrilled I am with your great work on Winnie and the amazing results that Chester and Charlie have given us. I can see we have a film to be very proud of and I wanted to express to you that your enormous contribution is much, much appreciated. This is, after all, a film called A Bear Named Winnie - so I hope you are happy with the career debuts of your little stars in the title role. Your achievements have been widely recognized and valued by all the cast and crew who have been unendingly impressed by your talent, commitment and general good humor. You made the impossible possible and then some."

"I am a veterinarian in private practice who works daily with a wide range of domestic and exotic species in a variety of different settings. During my twenty five years as a mixed practitioner I have also dealt with an equally diverse range of clients, from some of the best to some of the worst. I can state without hesitation that the entire staff at 'Animal Insight' rank among the best. They are kind and compassionate to all of their animals, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. They treat their animals with love, affection and respect and their training methods reflect these beliefs. The facilities where the animals are housed are spotlessly clean at all times and every animal in their care is provided with the best and most appropriate diet. Furthermore, they never hesitate to provide any and all of their animals with the best possible medical care. Cost has never been an issue. All they have ever requested from me is that their animals are provided with the best possible veterinary care. Animal Insight is a first-class animal training company."

A note from the team at Animal Insight:

While we are extremely proud of our accomplishments in the entertainment industry, we are most proud of the quality of care that we provide to our animals. This aspect of our business is important to different people for different reasons. It is important to us because we are genuinely attached to each and every one of our animals and their mental and physical well being is our top priority.

Quality care is important to production companies because a happy, healthy, well socialized, loved animal is better equipped to handle the challenges of set and will therefore deliver a superior performance. We are committed to ensuring that working with animals on a film set is a positive experience for the animal and for the cast and crew.

Our quality care includes:
  • Spacious enclosures with natural habitat
  • Companionship
  • Optimal diets for each species
  • The best of veterinary care
  • Plenty of exercise and play time.
  • Positive reinforcement training
    (food rewards, praise and toys)
  • An abundance of one on one attention and affection
