There are many stories of how dogs are great for mental health. In fact many animals can be excellent for mental health. Spending time with animals releases oxytocin – a feel good hormone.
I have become allergic to my Yorkshire Terrier and miss him so much. I still get to see him but he has to stay away for quite a lot of time as he affects my breathing and worsens my asthma. Dogs are wonderful company. They offer unconditional love and make wonderful companions.
If you suffer from mental health issues and love animals, it’s a no-brainer.
