6 best medium-sized dog breeds for your apartment

An emotional support animal or ESA dog provides emotional and mental support to people who are having different symptoms of mental disorder. The most common symptoms are depression, stress, anxiety and feelings of loneliness. Love, support and companionship of ESA can help in the elimination of all these symptoms. They improve both the physical and mental health of people and increase the production of dopamine and oxytocin in the body which are termed happy hormones. These hormones keep people happy and eliminate their symptoms of anxiety while keeping them relaxed.
