Enrichment in puppyhood and its effects on later behavior of dogs

Current dog housing typically consists of barren pens with little or no cage furniture or attempt to enrich the environment. Inanimate enrichment [chewable toys] and social enrichment [one each weekday, a technician spent 2 min in the pen, then picked...

Validation of a radiotelemetry system for continuous blood pressure and heart rate monitoring in dogs

A blood pressure telemetry system with catheter placement in the femoral artery was evaluated over a 119-day period in eight mongreldogs. Every 3 weeks, the pressures recorded by telemetry were compared with direct, simultaneously recorded blood pressures measured from a...

The use of saliva cortisol, urinary cortisol, and catecholamine measurements for a noninvasive assessment of stress responses in dogs

A problem in assessing animal welfare is that collecting data in itself may be stressful to the animals. Therefore, noninvasive methods for collecting data have to be devised and tested. A first step in investigating saliva cortisol, urinary cortisol, and...

Introducing dogs into kennels: Prediction of social tendencies to facilitate integration

Results indicate that the assessment of dogs from their behaviour during the entry-sequence is a valid method to predict later tendencies. Males and females should be handled differently during introduction. The stress of entry into an existing group can therefore...

Noise in dog kennelling: Is barking a welfare problem for dogs? Applied Animal Behaviour Science 52(3/4), 321-329

The high noise levels were caused mainly by barking, but husbandry procedures such as cleaning also contributed to them. The noise levels recorded here may have welfare implications. If this is shown to be the case, it is not yet...

Comfortable quarters for laboratory dogs

Comprehensive enrichment program is outlined. It is reasonable to recommend that as an absolute minimum the enclosure must provide adequate space for a dog to locomote for more than a few paces in a straight line. This can be provided...
