Abstract

This experiment is designed to determine the relationship between groomers' activities and stress. The experimenter worked with 2 female dogs and 3 male dogs owned by clients. They were 22 months old on an average and weighed 5.5kg on an average. The concentration of cortisol in blood was measured with radioimmunoassy(RIA). The concentration of cortisol in blood was high in the morning and evening and was low in the afternoon. In a normal condition, the concentration of cortisol in blood was $1.4{\mu}g/dL$, which increased to $4.98{\mu}g/dL$ after 1 hr of grooming, and then returned to normal at the termination of grooming. The survey shows that grooming acted as a stressor, which seems to have an influence on the health of dogs. So it is absolutely necessary that systematic and constant research should be conducted to reduce stress at the time of grooming.
