In order to ease the stress, a live stream of puppies playing football has been launched to keep viewers calm during half time.

In order to help England football fans manage their blood pressure and heart rate, Freshpet have introduced a solution. The pet food provider introduced a puppy football live stream on their Facebook page. Viewers can expect to see English bulldogs play against other dog breeds.

Existing Medical Issues Could be Aggrivated
