Happy National Dog Day from the Wellness Center Dog Crew! 🐾

You might be thinking, wait what?? Why is the Wellness Center posting about dogs?!

Well, for good reason! Research shows that owning a dog is good for you both physically and emotionally.

💜 Dogs can be there for you even when people can’t. They offer unconditional love, emotional support, and constant cuddles that help stave off social isolation. A small Australian study discovered that dog ownership can reduce loneliness.

🧠 Your canine companion can offer comfort and ease your worries. Multiple studies show that dogs and therapy dogs help relieve stress and anxiety. Even just petting a familiar dog lowers blood pressure and heart rate, slows breathing, and relaxes tense muscles. Scientists at Washington State University discovered that petting a dog for just 10 minutes can have a significant impact. Study participants had a significant reduction in cortisol, a major stress hormone.

👟 Among elderly people, pet ownership might also be an important source of social support that enhances well-being. In one study, elderly individuals that had a dog or cat were better able to perform certain physical activities deemed “activities of daily living,” such as the ability to climb stairs; bend, kneel, or stoop; take medication; prepare meals; and bathe and dress oneself. We would also like to note that this was shown for cat ownership too!

Additionally, if choosing to rescue, rescue dogs offer purpose and fulfillment in our life. So next time you're with your best friend, ask yourself: "Who rescued who?" 🐾

Are you signed up for tomorrow's Healthier Happy Hour event? 🥂

Join us as we dive into the science and health behind hobbies! Finding our own "sparks" not only increases joy, but also our longevity, creativity, and overall satisfaction in our lives.

In this show-and-tell format, you have the option to even bring in something from your own hobby/life that you find enjoyment in! Maybe it's your ukulele, your favorite photos you've taken, your favorite books, or a sampling of food you like to make.

Speaking of samples... we'll have three new mocktails to try! 🍹

Be sure to call to RSVP! 541-274-2770. We'll see you then!
