Description
Mârza and co-authors review the role of cortisol in dogs, in a 2024 veterinary paper. Cortisol is the hormone that runs the stress response and steadies metabolism and immunity. The review covers how cortisol is measured in dogs, from blood, saliva, and urine sampling to non-invasive hair and fecal tests. Each method is weighed for accuracy and practical use in clinics and shelters.
Shelter conditions, human contact, and even music shift cortisol levels, the authors note. Abnormal levels connect to Cushing's disease and to stress-linked behavior problems. The team argue that routine cortisol monitoring can guide welfare decisions and treatment. Future work should refine painless sampling so stress can be tracked without adding more of it.
