The Science

  • Neitz, Geist & Jacobs (1989) — Visual Neuroscience — "Color vision in the dog"

    This landmark study examined the retinas of three domestic dogs and found they possess only two classes of cone photopigment, with spectral peaks at 429 nm and 555 nm. This dichromatic vision means dogs can distinguish blues and yellows well, but cannot differentiate red from green — similar to red-green color blindness in humans.

  • Binks et al. (2018) — Applied Animal Behaviour Science

    This study exposed shelter dogs to vanilla, coconut, ginger, and valerian essential oils via scented cloths. Exposure to all four scents resulted in significantly lower levels of vocalizations and movement compared to control conditions.

  • Graham et al. (2005) — Applied Animal Behaviour Science

    This study found lavender and chamomile particularly beneficial for shelter dogs, resulting in more resting and less movement and barking, while rosemary and peppermint had the opposite effect.

  • Howard et al. (2024) — Applied Animal Behaviour Science — "Are smelly toys more fun?"

    When researchers applied each dog's preferred scent to their most and least preferred toys, the addition of scent increased engagement such that dogs spent 4.2 and 13.7 times more seconds with their most and least preferred toys, respectively.

  • Murtagh, Farnworth & Brilot (2020) — Applied Animal Behaviour Science — "The scent of enrichment"

    Dogs in rehoming shelters are more likely to play with scented chew toys and behave more positively around them.
