This document discusses reproductive behavior in small animals like dogs and cats. It summarizes key hormones involved in various reproductive behaviors and processes. Oxytocin promotes pair-bonding between dams and offspring. Prolactin inhibits sexual behaviors. Estrogen causes physical and behavioral changes associated with estrus. Progesterone maintains pregnancy and induces maternal behaviors. Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone stimulate male breeding behaviors. Pheromones can also alter reproductive behaviors and physiology through olfaction. An understanding of endocrinology can help diagnose and treat abnormalities in reproductive behavior.
