Stress Relief / Reduced Anxiety

Stress Relief / Reduced Anxiety

Those suffering from depression, stress, and anxiety may find it difficult to open up.  Dogs won’t judge or condemn those they visit, and they provide smiles and a sense of security.

Pet therapy has been found to increase endorphins, oxytocin, and dopamine while reducing cortisol (the stress hormone) and blood pressure. All together, that means that time spent with your pet leaves you less stressed, more bonded, and more happy.
