Companion Habitats Inc.
Promoting animal companionship and pet therapy
 We have all had
friends or family in a nursing home or assisted-living facility at one time. Companion
Habitats Inc. of Colorado Springs, Colo., provides those who live in such facilities the
opportunity for animal companionship and pet therapy. The company's Portable Viewer,
Octa-Viewer and Aviator series habitats brings the positive benefits of pet interaction to
your residents.
Aviaries and bird gardens no longer require placement outdoors. Gone are the days of
landscaping and maintenance often associated with birds and other pet ownership. Companion
Habitats has designed new ways to bring animals indoors, enhancing the dÈcor of a
facility and creating enjoyment for residents.
Making a purchase of this nature is an investment. Companion Habitats understands this
and wishes to provide its customers with a product that will last and fulfill their needs,
assisting them with a full line of product offerings. Among these products is the Portable
Viewer, a convenient and safe method of bringing animals to residents for visits. This
self-contained animal exhibit will delight residents with ease of transport while still
maintaining a hygienic environment.
The company also offers the Octa-Viewer, an exciting new way to increase social
exchange and add to the enjoyment of any activity room. The Octa-Viewer is a mobile,
self-contained animal display that provides viewing from every angle, and the ventilated
top enables sounds to escape as well, such as the songs of birds. This unique product also
solves challenges regarding cleaning and maintenance by using Insta-Clean™, an
automated bedding-removal system. Simply plug it into a standard electrical outlet and,
within moments, all of the soiled bedding is swept away into a hidden receptacle.
 Companion
Habitats products have been recently exhibited at industry tradeshows. The newest product,
the Walk-In Environment, was introduced at the AAHSA show in Chicago, Oct. 24-27. The
Walk-In experience includes the touching of animals, sounds of flowing water, and the
smells, textures and colors of plants. Also offered are Portable Gardens, in which the
environment itself serves a therapeutic function.
Companion Habitats products may be the solution to some common problems found in
senior-living environments, such as loneliness, helplessness and boredom. Pets don't have
to be part of a structured pet-therapy program--they can be therapeutic just in being
viewed and enjoyed by residents. Pet-therapy habitats and portable gardens can add
interest and spontaneity to residents' lives, as well as those of staff and family
members.
