Scientists from the Cleveland Clinic have proven that dogs really make people happy by increasing the serotonin and dopamine, as well as lowering blood pressure. However, most dog owners know this without any research.

Scientists from the Cleveland Clinic conducted a series of observations and experiments that showed that being with a dog increases the level of positive chemicals in the brain, lowers blood pressure, helps relieve stress and depression. Of course, only in people who are not afraid of dogs and do not feel negative emotions towards them.

Psychiatrists exaggerate the benefits of dogs, because walking with them, petting them and even simply being together in the same room affects the increase in the level serotonin and dopamine in the brain, definitely raising the mood.

Radical differences between dogs and cats is that with the former you need to walk regularly. And this is a type of physical activity that allows you to maintain a healthy weight, as well as to communicate with many other so-called dog lovers, that is, to maintain social contacts, which is very important for mental well-being.

Walking with dogs has a positive effect on people in ​​​​​​​state of depression, because they form in them a sense of purpose in life and remove the feeling of isolation.

Today, statistics show that one in three American families has a dog. And it's easy to understand, because experiments have confirmed the brain's release of the pleasure hormones serotonin and dopamine at the moment of simply being around these pets. And the level of the stress hormone cortisol decreased for the moment.
