What this guide offers
The Scent Greeting explains broad facial-rubbing communication and helps organize a witnessed context or veterinary question. It is not a behavior clinic, scent-testing service or veterinary examination. It cannot translate a particular rub, rank a bond or certify that a movement is harmless.
