The activities with animals in the fields of educational practice has been increasingly popular, The aim of this article is to provide a systematic review relating to animal-assisted interventions in the fields of school educational practices. Most studies reported significant benefits of animal-assisted interventions in the school setting. Furthermore, a worrying lack of reference to risk assessment and animal welfare must be highlighted. Taken together, the results of this review show promising findings and emerging evidence suggestive of potential benefits related to animals in school settings. The review also indicates the need for a larger and more robust evidence base driven by thorough and strict protocols. The review further emphasizes the need for safeguarding for all involved—-welfare and safety are paramount. Future research employing more rigorous designs and systematically building upon a clearly defined line of inquiry is needed to advance our knowledge on the potential beneficial effects of the animal-assisted interventions in the fields of school educational practices.
