A place to put the day down.

For the mind that keeps going after the phone goes dark. This is what a night with Zenimal+ looks like.

  2. One button

    Press Sleep.

    The bottom button starts the Sleep meditation. No app, no account, no setup.

  3. Fifteen minutes

    Let a calm voice lead.

Anna Peterson, founder of Zenimal

I was a child who couldn't sleep. At eight, a clinical psychologist gave me real tools. I built Zenimal so anyone, at any age, could have what I had, without needing the right person in the right room at the right time. I narrate most of the meditations myself. That voice is real, and it is meant for you.

Great Zen Tool

Love this relaxation tool 💕

Loving & Using my Zenimal at Work & at Home

I love my Zenimal for my own personal use as well as for a variety of meditation, relaxation, energy enhancing & stress reducing purposes. I use my Zenimal to aid my own sleeping & it came in especially handy when we had an extended WiFi blackout earlier this month on the East Coast of the USA.

I use it regularly when I serve at my local hospital as a Caritas Cart Volunteer. Each volunteer travels to different units & hospital work areas to say, "Thank you for what you are doing. We value you!". We use aroma therapy, meditation, deep/relaxation breathing, & expressing gratitude, as well as replenishment, nourishment & hydration to help nurses & other staff to regroup & de-stress themselves. I was introduced to Zenimal in my Caritas Cart training. It is supported by hospital administration who purchases the printed support resources, the nourishments & healthy snacks, the bottles of water & the healthy Bigelow teas, as well as our aromatherapy essential oils for use & consumption by the staff.

I've made a number of purchases of Zenimal units to give to friends, colleagues, & others whom I know to be stressed or in need of learning how to manage stress & overload.

I am about to purchase two Spanish-speaking units for my own housekeepers who are immigrants to this country. While there are many stressed groups of people, what group could be under greater stress in this country at this point in time?

I'm trying to get a similar Caritas Cart program up & running in a nursing home where I sit on the Board of Directors. It is in my home town & where I served as Director of Nursing and subsequent Administrator of Record from 1989-2002. Staff & administration in good long term care facilities are under high pressure all day/every day; the regulations are voluminous, the work is hard, & staffing is often inadequate. What a great gift a Zenimal would be for any Nursing Assistant, Nurse, Social Worker, Therapeutic Recreation Therapist, Rehabilitation Therapist, or Dietary, Housekeeping, or Laundry staff, to say nothing of the people in the front & back offices!

Thank you for making this wonderful product available!

Dr. Stephanie Paulmeno, DNP, MS, RN, NHA, CCM, CPH, CDP (Nurse/Gerontologist)

Dr. Paulmeno, Thank you for sharing all of this. The Caritas Cart program is remarkable, and it means a great deal to know Zenimal has found a place in it. Your observations about long-term care resonate with us. The pressures you describe are real, and the people carrying them deserve more support than they typically get. Thank you for being such a thoughtful advocate for the people around you.

Didn't last

This thing completely died after several months. It was a waste of money.

We’re so sorry to hear this happened — your device should absolutely last far longer than a few months. We offer a 1-year warranty on all Zenimal products, and we’re happy to replace it free of charge.

Please email us right away at hello@zenimals.com, and we’ll take care of this for you.

Thank you for giving us the chance to make it right.

Defect product - and they want me to pay return shipping

DO NOT ORDER DIRECT!!! . I messaged that the product was not working. Light flashes continuously. I tried several resets, different power cord, and a different meditation cards. I asked to return it as defective and after several days they finally emailed to say I would be responsible to pay return shipping. I bought the product for a family member having open heart surgery and now I am checking emails for what I am suppose to do to troubleshoot a defect unit. If you really want this product, do not order it direct ..... Maybe if you order from Amazon or CVS you have return options to return if its defect. But I would verify before purchasing.

First and foremost, we are truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you've faced with our product and our customer service team, especially during a time when you're caring for a family member undergoing open heart surgery. It's clear that this experience added stress during an already challenging period, and for that, we are genuinely sorry.

We want to assure you that your concerns are being heard and taken seriously. We understand how important it is to have reliable and functional products, particularly in times of need. It's distressing to know that our product did not meet these expectations when you needed it the most.

We have made several attempts to reach out to you to resolve this issue since your first contact with us, including offering to replace the defective unit without any cost to you. It appears these messages may not have reached you, and for that miscommunication, we sincerely apologize. We want to make this right.

Could you please check your email, including any spam or junk folders, for our previous messages? Alternatively, we invite you to contact our customer service team directly at hello@zenimals.com. We are here to listen and to provide the support and solutions you need.

Your experience matters deeply to us, and we are committed to turning this situation around for you. We're here to support not just as a company, but as people who care.

Looking forward to your response and the opportunity to make things better.

Zenimal does not answer inquiries

I contacted through the site multiple times trying to inquire which model would be best for an 11 year old, and I never received any response. I wanted to avoid buying the one for small children and having my child grow out of it quickly. Really disappointed in the lack of communication.

In the spirit of Zenimal's commitment to tranquility and mindfulness, we extend our sincerest apologies for the recent disruption in communication you experienced. The essence of our service, much like our screen-free meditation devices, is to offer peace and clarity, and we regret that this was not reflected in your recent interaction with us.

We discovered a technical issue within our website's contact system, which has since been mindfully addressed and resolved. This was a moment of learning and growth for us, reminding us of the importance of being as responsive and attentive in our customer service as our Zenimal devices are in promoting mindfulness and peace.

In alignment with our values of care and attentiveness, our customer service team is reaching out to you personally. We aim to provide the guidance and support you need in selecting the perfect Zenimal device for an 11-year-old, ensuring it's a companion for their journey towards mindfulness that grows with them.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigated through this challenge. It is our hope that we can turn this experience into an opportunity to demonstrate the core values of Zenimal - calmness, clarity, and connection.

A full nights sleep!

I am 71 years old, and have had trouble sleeping. I received my Zenimal over a week ago and have used it every night. I fall asleep easily and have stayed soundly asleep for at least 7 hours every single night...even during the full moon!! I highly recommend Zenimal. Thank you for inventing this!!

Thank YOU for trusting us with your wellness. Sending peace, wellness, and love.

Great product for all ages

Wow, this is an incredible product! In an age where screen time is becoming the most pervasive activity for people of all ages, Zenimal seems to be perfect for just about everyone.

The data are clear on mindfulness, and to be honest, even if those data change tomorrow, I still think everyone can benefit from a product like this.

What I love most about it is that it does not rely exclusively on a phone. It’s a bit ironic how most mindfulness apps tie us direct to another screen.

I strongly recommend this for young kids so they can see the benefits at a young age and develop a habit while they are still developing. I wish I had this when I was a kid!

Amazing, Jackson, thank you so much for the thoughtful and kind review!

We absolutely love our Zenimals!

We brought a zenimal a few years ago for our daughter and she loves it so much that we had to purchase another one for our boys. They use it every night at bedtime and during creative moments too. It is so calming to our kids and they love the stories at bedtime. We can't say enough good things about this product!!!

A Truly Inspired Product

I'm very grateful to find the product Zenimal. I first noticed it would be good for my grandsons because they have a hard time winding down to get to sleep at night. I purchased it first and listened to it myself before giving it to their parents. I loved the messages I heard and thought it would be good for them. Soon after I gave it away, I realized it would be nice to have for myself. I've found that after a long day I look forward to my calming routine that now includes Zenimal. It provides the affirmations and music that soothes me to sleep. Recently, I listened to the Empathy selection and was impressed by how positive and inspiring it was. Zenimal is becoming part of my go-to methods that helps me feel my best.

Thank you for the beautiful feedback! We are so honored to be a part of your day

Third Zenimal

I just purchased our third Zenimal and now each of the kids will have their own. This one is for our oldest (10) who lost his “turtle” to his younger brother. We will use the kid’s chip from his sister’s (who prefers Pocket Mouse) until he is a bit older. He prefers the look of the adult version. These have been a fantastic addition to our nighttime routine!

Wonderful, Abby, thank you so much for this feedback!

I bought one for...

I bought one for myself frist and my second to youngest took off me and now sleeps better. So I bought two more one for me and one for my mother. I figured it would help my mom out because she has had a hard time sleeping since my Dad passed. It helps her too. I just need something to calm me down. We all love it. Thank you for creating it.

We are touched and honored to be a part of your journey. Our hearts go out to you, your mom, and your family. We are so sorry for your immense loss. Sending infinite love your way.

Very happy with my screen free Zenimal!

I love my Zenimal! I originally got one for my son who is 5 and it helped so much with winding down at bedtime and he falls asleep to the meditations every night. I was very excited to try the adult one and its amazing. I love that its screen free and i use it at night before bed and during the day when i need to reset.
