Animal-Assisted Therapy

You probably know what OUR answer to that is!

Seriously though, there is absolutely something called animal-assisted therapy and although goats may seem like a non-traditional therapy animal, they certainly can be AND it is becoming increasingly popular.

Animals can affect brain chemistry by reducing cortisol levels (linked to stress), increasing dopamine (linked with reward-motivation behavior), oxytocin (called the love hormone and linked to feeling of tranquility), and endorphins (linked to feelings of happiness and well-being).
