Accessibility

Zenimal exists to help children feel calm without a screen. That only matters if the people who need our products can actually reach them, so we treat accessibility as part of the product rather than an afterthought.

What we are working toward

We are working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2, Level AA, for zenimals.com. We test regularly and fix what we find, and we would rather tell you plainly where we are than claim more than we can show.

What we have done

We test zenimals.com against WCAG 2.2 Level AA with automated tools on every page, at desktop and phone widths, and with manual keyboard review. Work completed so far includes:

  • Text descriptions for images, so screen readers can describe them
  • A clear, meaningful name for every link, button and form field
  • Text and button colors with enough contrast to read comfortably
  • Visible keyboard focus, and pages you can use fully with a keyboard
  • Pages that fit a small phone screen without sideways scrolling
  • Captions on our videos with speech
  • Written transcripts for every sample meditation you can play on our site
  • A Pause animations control at the bottom of every page, a pause button on looping videos, and animations that stay still if your device is set to reduce motion
  • Downloadable guides that are tagged for screen readers

We do not use an accessibility overlay or widget. We fix the site itself instead, so it works with the tools you already use.

We check every page again each month, and we review new pages and features before they go live.

Our devices and app

The Zenimal itself is a screen free audio companion operated by physical buttons. It needs no screen, no app, and no reading to use, and a child can operate it independently. Zenimal Connect, the companion app, is used by parents and caregivers rather than children, and we are currently assessing it against Apple and Google accessibility guidance.

Parts of the site run by other companies

Checkout, customer accounts, and some features such as subscriptions and email signup are provided by partners, including Shopify and Klaviyo. We ask these partners about their accessibility and report problems we find to them. If one of these parts gets in your way, tell us and we will help you complete your order or request directly.

If something does not work for you

If you hit a barrier anywhere on zenimals.com, or you need something from our site in a different format, please tell us. We want to know, and we will help you get what you came for.

Email hello@zenimals.com and include the page address and what happened. We reply within one business day, Monday to Friday, 9 to 5 Eastern, and often the same day.

If you would rather not email, you can reach us through our contact form.

If we have not resolved it

If you have contacted us and the problem is still not fixed, reply to our message and say so. It will go to Anna Peterson, our founder, directly.

Founded on Purpose

Anna Peterson’s journey began in her earliest years. As a young child, she endured severe anxiety and night terrors until a clinical psychologist introduced her to simple meditation techniques that helped her regain control. Throughout those challenging times, her father was a steadfast source of comfort, a cherished presence whose remarkable legacy has deeply influenced her path.

When Anna became a mother, the echoes of her childhood struggles resurfaced, and she was determined to spare her daughter from similar challenges. Unable to find a screen-free tool to teach mindfulness and self-awareness, she created Zenimal, a portable device offering guided meditations designed to nurture relaxation, emotional balance, and focus in children.

Grounded in a philosophy of living fully in the present and bolstered by her commitment to make this accessible to as many people as possible, Anna continues to develop Zenimal from her base in Southern California alongside her two amazing kiddos. Her mission remains clear: to integrate presence into everyday life and help people of all ages discover lasting balance, resilience, and inner peace.
