Dogs Can Sense When We Are Sick
Some of us have an extra healing aid around… our pets. When I’m sick, my fur kiddos stay right by my side, as if holding vigil until I recover.
Can dogs really know and sense when we are sick?
The answer is yes! Dogs, in particular, have several special ways that help them indicate if a person is ill or not. One of those ways is with their amazing olfactory abilities, or rather, their miraculous sense of smell.
Certain breed of dogs can have up to 40-50 times the scent receptors than us humans, making their sense of smell about 100,000 times stronger than ours! When a person is ill, their body chemistry will change, and a dog’s sensitive snout may be able to detect these subtle changes, letting them know we are sick.
Dogs can be trained to sniff out volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the human body, helping with early detection for illnesses, including cancer. Often with 90% or more accuracy, the trained nose of a dog can smell lung cancer on someone’s breath, pinpoint the location of a mammary tumor, or detect bladder or prostate cancer from someone’s urine.
A dog’s nose can alert us to blood sugar changes and ketone presence in diabetics, or let us know when someone with epilepsy is about to have a seizure.
So if your furry family member seems to be paying attention to a certain part of your body more than usual, perhaps it’s time to listen to your canine companion and get checked out!
Our canine companions are also keen observers of our behavior, and can often tell when we aren’t feeling well, just by noticing subtle changes in our daily routines. Perhaps we are more tired and less mobile than usual, or we suddenly are home from work for a few days. The lack of energy you may feel when you’re sick is quickly sensed by your pets, letting them know you are feeling under the weather.
It’s also been noted that dogs can recognize our facial expressions. When we are tired and sick, the energy often leaves our faces, and our dogs see this happen. A dog sees this change in our behavior and expression, and a common response is that of appeasement. Dogs will actually lick the tears from your face when you are sad, as if they know comfort is needed now.
So next time you’re under the weather, let your furry family members help heal you!
