Do Service Dogs Limit Reliance on Drugs?

Service dogs do not eliminate other PTSD treatments; but they can reduce drug reliance.

People living with PTSD often have a long list of prescriptions to help them cope with the effects. Research has shown that veterans who have the help of a service dog can begin to reduce the number of drugs they take. Co-produced with Believet.
