Dogs are an important part of our lives, but what some people don’t realize is that sometimes having a dog can also save your life.
Studies have shown that dogs reduce stress, anxiety and depression. The key to choosing a dog to help overcome depression is quite different than choosing one for general needs. It is important for you to research the different kinds of breeds to see which type would fit into your lifestyle.
Based off studies of different breeds that found them to be the most playful, yet not overly energetic, loving and with low maintenance we have put together a list of the top 7 breeds for those fighting depression.
- Golden Retriever
- Labrador Retriever
- Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
- Pug
- Poodle
