Dogs can promote mental health, but only under certain conditions

A dog can help maintain mental health, but this effect disappears if certain conditions are not met. This is the conclusion of research by Futura, which examined the relationship between dogs and mental health.

According to the research, dogs can reduce stress and provide a sense of security. However, this effect is only true if the dog is well cared for and there is a strong bond between owner and dog.

Futura warns that poor care or a weak bond between dog and owner can actually have negative consequences for mental health. It is therefore important to think carefully before acquiring a dog.

The research emphasizes that a dog is not simply a solution for mental health problems. It is essential to invest in a good relationship and care for the animal.
