The atmosphere was extremely calm and happy, with the staff members bringing puppies around to us and making sure we all got pictures interacting with our puppy friends to remember the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/05\/472A8254-549A-4B8F-8865-31C3AA887D98-1-1-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/05\/472A8254-549A-4B8F-8865-31C3AA887D98-1-1-edited-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/05\/472A8254-549A-4B8F-8865-31C3AA887D98-1-1-edited-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/05\/472A8254-549A-4B8F-8865-31C3AA887D98-1-1-edited-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/05\/472A8254-549A-4B8F-8865-31C3AA887D98-1-1-edited-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/05\/472A8254-549A-4B8F-8865-31C3AA887D98-1-1-edited-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/05\/472A8254-549A-4B8F-8865-31C3AA887D98-1-1-edited-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/05\/Adobe-Express-IMG_3958-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/05\/Adobe-Express-IMG_3958-edited-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/05\/Adobe-Express-IMG_3958-edited-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/05\/Adobe-Express-IMG_3958-edited-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/05\/Adobe-Express-IMG_3958-edited-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/05\/Adobe-Express-IMG_3958-edited-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/05\/Adobe-Express-IMG_3958-edited-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High levels of stress can interfere with work, school, and friendships, so it is important to take time to slow down and interact with animals to relieve stress. Although at first I did not think puppy therapy was a genuine form of therapy, the Animal Health Institute actually claims that \u201cjust fifteen minutes of playing or petting a friendly dog can measurably reduce stress and lower heart rate and cortisol levels\u201d, something which University students need to offset the stress created by our busy lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many of us, doubly navigating a new culture while completing studies, stress is an every day phenomenon. Loughborough University London seeks to offer coping strategies as well as stress-relieving activities to support us through our studies. I know I\u2019ll be hoping for more animal-related activities from Student Services in the future!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Sophia Warkentin (Student of MSc International Sustainable Development) April marks Stress Awareness Month, and with topics due for our dissertation and only two modules left in their course for many students, stress levels were picking up around campus.
