Th physiological signs of stress in dogs

What happens in our dogs' bodies when they feel stressed (either physically or mentally)? Our dogs' bodies activate a part of their nervous system which will help them escape from the PERCEIVED (this is important!) threat or stressor.

Their sympathetic nervous system activates the 'fight or flight' response which causes the release of hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol.

These hormones promote blood flow to certain areas of the body which prepares the body for action. This means their blood pressure, heart and breathing rate increase, pupils dilate and muscles tense up as their body gets ready to run away if possible, or to defend themselves from whatever is scaring them.

Stress can cause nausea or the feeling of butterflies in the stomach, leading to drooling or hypersalivation. Some dogs will refuse to eat or even vomit, defecate or urinate involuntarily if they are feeling stressed enough! The classic response to a lot of dogs going to the vets is to empty their a**l glands!

This same stress response can also occur from 'good' stress eg when your dog is overexcited or hyperaroused, their body is reacting physiologically the same way! Think of the phrase 'feeling sick with excitement'.

It is very important to understand that these things are not under your dog's control. They are involuntary responses, so punishing your dog for vomiting or toileting in these situations will only make them feel worse and more stressed!

The other take home point is that just because something may not seem logically scary to us, doesn't mean it is not going to be extremely scary/stressful to our dogs. For example, many dogs pace, pant and drool during storms or fireworks, and some dogs will also defecate inside and refuse to eat their food when left home alone. These situations may not seem to be a big deal from our perspective, but for some dogs, being in these trigger such overwhelming stress that their bodies act like they are in severe danger!

We know that chronic stress affects our physical and mental well being, and it is the same for our dogs. It is our jobs to recognise this and help them out - this can be as simple and immediate as removing your dog from the stressful situation! Identifying when your dog is stressed is the first step towards addressing their stress!

Do You Know How To Perform Dog CPR In An Emergency? This Is SO Important!

Dogs really are the most amazing companions 😊

Life with type 1 diabetes involves high and lows and lots and lots of needles, every single day. We trained Jedi to alert us when Luke goes too low of too high. His alerts often beat the meters and he saves Luke from lots of the crummy feelings and health issues that go along with each (if you go back and look at our old videos and pictures you'll see) but Jedi's job goes beyond alerting, he also saves Luke from being alone, from being scared, he is his constant companion. This you see right here was not trained, this is the bond they've formed, after three years of being together, seeing this love helps me deal with the fact that I can't make the needles go away. Luke is getting a new continuous glucose monitor sensor inserted (it is a needle that leaves a wire under the skin.)We numb his arm prior but Luke still has anxiety about the insertions. Jedi knows when it's time and he will come from wherever he is in the house and lay on Luke while we do it, I know he can sense Luke's anxiety.
This is the part of type 1 diabetes the rest of the world doesn't see and why for 4 years I have been sharing our story in hopes that other people will decide to learn more and try to understand why .
Thank you for being here, and thank you for supporting us.

Happy Valentines Day!
