BorrowMyDoggy knows a thing or two about the mental health benefits of having a dog in our lives. Ensuring good mental wellbeing is fundamental for us to be at our best in both our professional and private lives.


95% of British people said their dog’s presence helped them overcome lockdown, making it clearer than ever the wellbeing benefit that dogs can bring. 

The research that backs up the relationship between better mental health and pets is so substantial that not only are we seeing, for example, more and more dogs in the workplace, but we’re even seeing more dogs used in assisting people with mental health conditions and in therapy.


We all need a nudge to take care of ourselves, and by booking BorrowMyDoggy on Juno, employees have the opportunity to better their lives through something as simple, yet effective, as getting away from the computer, going for a walk with a dog and enjoying nature.
