Studies have shown that interacting with dogs can reduce your heart rate, regulate your breathing, reduce your blood pressure, and also reduce your anxiety. Our pups also have a wonderfully positive influence on our moods. With this in mind, United will be teaming up with therapy dog organizations and their adorable pets to reduce travel stress and anxiety this holiday season.
United will be bringing therapy dogs to airports to give passengers an oasis of happiness during the hectic parts of their journeys.
Passengers traveling through ORD, EWR, IAD, IAH, DEN, LAX, and CLE will have the chance to visit with friendly dogs before they head off for the holidays. The United Paws crew will greet customers from Dec. 21 through Dec. 23, each day between 9 a.m. and noon and between 1 and 4 p.m.
For those who aren’t traveling during this time, you can still participate in the fun by posting a photo to Instagram or Twitter with your dog and #UnitedPaws #UnitedContest. For each tagged photo, United will donate $1 to support therapy dog organizations!
