Interaction with dogs has proven to lower cortisol which reduces anxiety.
Oxytocin helps us feel happier, more secure & less stressed.

Just a few minutes of enjoyable time spent with a dog can increase dopamine which provides pleasure, satisfaction & motivation.
A great way to 'boost' employees!

Dogs are great at starting a conversation!
They help provide an empathetic environment where people can listen & support each other.
With our Peer Support trained 'handlers' the conversation could lead to signposting referrals that assist employees to better health.

K9 Support Dogs are front & centre in the battle against mental health stigma!
Stigma can stop someone from asking for help. This inhouse initiative enables our dogs to open up conversations about wellbeing and workplace health.

This has been shown to help increase motivation and job satisfaction!
