Can dogs pick up on our stress?

Studies have shown that dogs can actually pick up on our stress! Research suggests that dogs can not only read our body language and facial expressions, but they can also detect stress hormones like cortisol in our sweat and breath. The good news? The calming effect works both ways! Spending time petting and interacting with your relaxed and happy self can actually help lower your dog’s stress levels too. So next time you’re feeling overwhelmed, consider cuddling with your furry friend – it might just be the stress relief you both need!
