Lilly, Moko and Mitchie, our doggie greeters, are more than just slobbery tail waggers. There is science behind those furry little bundles of love. Canine assisted therapy makes for good results, especially for guarded patients who see therapy as foreign, painful or challenging.
But these benefits go beyond our office. Finals are just around the corner for students and who doesnt have a lil stress each and every day. A little doggie love can be just the destressor you need. Petting a dog increases a human’s level of oxytocin, a hormone that reduces anxiety and blood pressure.
