Creating Calmness and Happiness

Studies show being around animals reduces stress and anxiety, creating a sense of calmness by lowering levels of cortisol, increasing oxytocin (stress related hormones) and lowering blood pressure. Research teaches us interaction with animals can assist in reducing loneliness, increasing feelings of social support, boosting self-esteem and improving mood.

Caring for animals fosters empathy and compassion, aiding in development and maintenance of valuable life skills, emotion control and behaviour moderation. Studies have proven animals can assist in development and maintenance of positive social behaviours, making people feel more grounded and present.
