Researchers studying the effects of robotic pets on people living with a dementia found:
'companion cats enhance the well-being and quality of life of individuals with dementia living in a long-term care facility by providing companionship and interaction with their environment, which helps to reduce anxiety and agitation.' James Madison University (12.12.2018)*
*Of course the above can be applied to the Joy For All Companion Pet Dog just as well as to the cats in the range.

One delighted customer stated:
"My wife of 72 years has been diagnosed with rapid onset moderate dementia. She always wanted a dog, but I knew that in our situation a real dog would demand more than we would be able to provide. When searching for robotic dogs as a novelty gift, I came across this companion pet and purchased it, if for no other reason than its realistic appearance. She has since spent hours with it every day since. 'It has a heart' she says, reacting to the beating mechanism inside. Anything that can bring such joy and happiness is something to be truly grateful for."
