 Depression is the most common mental disorder. According to one study, 26.2 percent of Americans suffer from depression. Dogs have long been companions of humans. Then why not have a dog that can relieve depression and other tensions in life. Here we have compiled a list of the top 5 dog breeds that can be helpful in reducing depression.

Breed#01

Labrador retrievers:

Labrador retrievers are helping in nature. They are highly trainable and have ability to engage well with their owners. They are ranked as 5th dog breed that can help in reducing depression. This is partly because they are a larger breed and I like large dogs, but it's also because, in my experience, they are just so cute. Labrador Retrievers love to swim (they have webbed paws) and they have serious stamina too.

Breed#02

Golden Retrievers:

Golden Retrievers are ranked as the 4th breed that can be helpful reducing depression due to their cheering personalities and ability to become close to their owners and people around them. Golden retrievers can also help improve the cardiovascular health of their human companions. However, they do lose a ton and are prone to hip problems. So be prepared for it. They swim happily all day, run and fetch when you allow them, making them an ideal pet for anyone dealing with indolence and other depressive symptoms.

Breed#03

Poodles:

Poodles are ranked as 3rd most helpful dog breed in reducing depression. They are also considered as one of the most intelligent dog breed among all AKC registered dog breeds. Poodles are pretty cute. They're also relatively active, because before they were typed as the cute Parisian's dog in every movie, poodles were Northern Europe's preferred hunting dog.

Breed#04

Pugs:

Pugs are quite naughty and they actually know how to keep you busy. They are attention seekers. They are ranked as 2nd most helpful dog breed in reducing depression problems. "Pugs live to love and be loved." Although pugs naturally look like they're in a constant state of grumpiness (and it's adorable), they are actually some of the most natural dogs out there, and they are easier to train.

Breed#05

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel:

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel are considered as the most helpful dog breed for the people suffering from depression. Aside from their obvious cuteness, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels can help their humans fight depression in a number of ways - one of which is that they are super affectionate and love to cuddle. (They were the preferred lap dog breed of noble Scots in the 1500s, and King Charles II liked these fluffy little love machines so much that he named them after himself.)Sources
