Comparison of Stress Levels Induced by Two Types of Pet Dryers Using Salivary Cortisol Measurement in Dogs

The common pet dryer (CD) is typically used to dry dogs after bathing, but the excessive heat and noise can induce stress. Dog owners and facilities housing many animals, such as research facilities, have begun to widely adopt the pet dry room (PDR) as a more convenient drying alternative. In the present study, the stress induced by CD or PDR was assessed by measuring the salivary cortisol. Ten healthy beagles at a research laboratory were included. The mean cortisol level before drying (S1) with CD was 0.25 μg/dl and significantly increased to 0.38 μg/dl 10 minutes after drying (... view more»
