Have you ever noticed how your body softens when your pet curls up beside you?
In this week’s Pearls for Parkinson’s podcast, we discuss how pets can positively affect brain chemistry. Simple moments like petting an animal or sharing a routine can support dopamine release, lower stress hormones, and improve mood and motivation.
