As Psychology Today stated, ”Researchers have determined that interacting with a friendly animal lowers blood pressure, slows heart rate, and has a positive effect on the body’s levels of stress-modulating hormones, particularly cortisol and dopamine.” The more physical you are as you spend time with your pet, the more you release dopamine which helps you stay happy and calm. In addition to that, your pet’s unconditional love and your interaction stimulates the production of oxytocin – a hormone that enhances bonding and social interaction. Sometimes called the “love hormone,” high oxytocin release in your brain makes you more empathetic to other people and animals while being relieved of stress and anxiety.

The Service Animal Registry of California invites you to have your assistance animal registered in order to designate its status. We also encourage you to take our online classes so you can be fully aware of your rights and gain more knowledge about your support animal.

Finally, we present to you our book entitled, “ASSISTANCE ANIMAL LAWS: LEARN YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS, THERAPY PETS, AND OTHER DOGS, CATS, AND ASSISTANCE ANIMALS” to provide you with a complete education on assistance animals.
