GET STRESS-FREE SMILES

Having a dog to come home to at the end of a long day is proven to reduce stress and lower blood pressure.

As early as 2001, scientists realized that patients who owned dogs seemed to maintain lower blood pressure during times of mental stress as patients without dogs. Playing or petting a dog increases the levels of the happiness hormone oxytocin and decreases the levels of cortisol, which is responsible for feelings of stress thereby leading to a happier mood.

Ask any dog owner whether their dog makes them feel better and you will always get the same answer. More intelligent animals, such as dogs, spot changes in their human companion's emotional state and body language. A good cuddle will easily make you feel less anxious.
