A flat-sharing company has released a guided meditation featuring dogs for renters who aren’t allowed to have pets at their property.
SpareRoom says dogs have proven stress-busting qualities that renters should not have to miss out on, so has teamed up with clinical psychologist Dr Cinzia Pezzolesi to produce a five-minute video called ‘Care of the Dog’.
The video contains clips of dogs and puppies sleeping, snoozing, playing and generally being sweet, alongside meditation instructions to help bring a sense of calm during this chaotic time to pet-less renters.
Matt Hutchinson, SpareRoom director, said: “There’s so much research to show that pets have a calming effect on people. But we also know that it can be incredibly difficult for renters to find places that accept pets. So, we put together a video to let anyone, whether they own, rent or share their home, experience a little of that calm.
“With everyone being at home more over the past few months, things like gardens, space to work, and the ability to have a pet are becoming more important. This might seem like a fluffy idea – excuse the pun – but we need to keep having conversations about how we live, and the importance of feeling at home, regardless of who owns the property you live in.”
