At the Wellness Group our dogs excel as therapeutic dogs they are an antidote to depression. Studies have shown a decrease in both blood pressure and stress levels during therapy dog visits. A visit from one of our therapy dog teams can break the daily routine, increase overall emotional well-being, and stimulate the mind in dramatic ways.

• Bringing joy and laughter, even if for a short time
• Taking a person’s mind off of personal problems, aches, pains and worries
• Getting people to share their emotions and stories
