Pooch and Mutt, a UK dog food manufacturer, has launched its new ‘Calm and Relaxed’ wellness app to improve the mental health of the dogs.
The app, which is available for free download on IOS, has four main features to focus on all areas of mental health and wellness, such as calming meditations and separation anxiety music to help soothe dogs that “aren’t used to being left alone”.
It also features ‘Pooch Yoga’ sessions for owners and their dogs to “improve health, reduce stress and bond in a series of 30 minute dog-friendly asanas”.
Emma Frain, head of brand for Pooch and Mutt said: “Petting or playing with your dog is known to increase serotonin levels -the happy hormone – and for those that have been isolating alone or working from home, our furry friends have been a great source of company.
“This app was developed to pay forward some of the positive benefits that humans receive from their dogs on a daily basis and in turn, alongside a healthy balanced diet, help them to look after their dog’s mental health too.”
