About our animal talent agency
Our story started with a simple phone call – ‘Can you train dogs to not bite postmen?'
Nearly 40 years and hundreds of successful animal placements later, 1st Choice Animals have established a reputation not just for our flexibility to source animals from all seven continents, but our superb animal welfare record and commitment to safety.
Everything we do revolves around:
FIVE ANIMAL WELFARE NEEDS
The need for a suitable environment
The need for a suitable diet, including fresh water at all times
The need to be able to exhibit normal behaviour patterns
The need to be protected from pain, suffering and injury
The need to be housed with, or apart from, other animals as required
