A Dog A Day Keeps the Doctor Away

Written By Karen McCarthy

Dogs can have numerous positive impacts on our health and wellbeing:

  • Coaches and Cheerleaders: Dogs are natural motivators for physical activity. Regular walks, runs, and playtime with our four-legged friends help us stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

  • Ultimate Companions: The love and companionship provided by dogs can have a profound impact on our mental health.

  • Expert Cuddle Buddies: The simple act of touching and cuddling with our dogs releases oxytocin, the "feel-good" hormone.

  • Social Connectors: Dogs can also help alleviate feelings of loneliness.
