Health Benefits of Having A Dog
Who doesn’t love dogs?
Coco is well known to our patients. While he does not come into the patient care areas, our patients hear him extend a welcome bark when they drive up to our clinic.
And being able to spend more time with Coco is one of the reasons Dr. Adame loves having a home-based clinic.
Dr. Adame and Coco
Having dogs in the house is beneficial to children’s health!
The benefits include:
Reduced stress and anxiety
Lower risk of allergies and asthma
Increased exercise and physical activity
Learning responsibility, empathy, and compassion
Improved heart health by lowering blood pressure and lower resting heart rate
Dr. Adame became a vegetarian two decades ago (and later a vegan) because she felt that loving a dog was not much different than loving a cow, pig, or chicken.

Dr. Adame encourages any degree of progression towards high-protein, high-fiber, anti-inflammatory nourishment to reduce inflammation, protect the brain long term, and improve gut-brain health connection.
