Digital pet therapy is a new category of wellness support that enables users to receive similar benefits of pet therapy – increased oxytocin and serotonin – by interacting with real dogs through a digital app.
Murphy Cares works by engaging the user in a 1:1 connection with a dog. We combine videos of real dogs with a digital interface that allows the user to feel like they are in control of the dogs movements and activities – like eating, sleeping or catching a ball. The app fosters a connection with the dog, as well as feelings of control – both key to reducing stress and anxiety and feeling more positive.
Murphy Cares is for anyone and everyone who can use a bit of relief from stress, anxiety or loneliness during the day, whether they are aged 4 or 104. Our goal is to reduce stress and increase feelings of positivity – much like pet therapy. Typically, people feel better in as little as 5-7 minutes and can get on with their day in a more “pawsitive” way.
No! Murphy Cares costs a fraction of the cost for pet therapy in an organization. On an individual level, the Murphy Cares app can cost as little as a cup of coffee.
