Description
A number of papers have looked at the job of search and rescue dogs, their impact and the hazards they encounter during and after their time in the field. Very little literature exists looking at physiological changes associated with field work of search and rescue dogs. The aim of this study was to assess the physiological and antioxidant status before and after a 4-hour simulated search and rescue activity, with handlers, under warm-weather conditions performing activities compared to a control group of similarly trained dogs at rest. The presentation frames the discussion around literature that exists looking at physiological changes of other working dogs.
