All about dog

The saying; dogs are man’s best friend, is a very old and popular saying. Don’t you just wonder, who said it and what brought about the conclusion? But whichever way you choose to look at it, dogs are truly man’s best friend. Not just because they are a domestic animal (cats are domestic animals, and nobody called them a man’s best friend), but because they are just great.

Dogs fill up that space that is meant for humans better than the humans in your life. They are loyal, smart, forgiving, cheerful, etc. all this are some of the qualities you expect in a human best friend, but you can get from a dog.

Here are the best 4 reasons why are dogs man’s best friend;

1. They are very loyal

Most times we tell our friends we would die for them or have their back no matter the situation, just to prove our loyalty to them, although when reality sets in we tend to do the opposite. But your dog will die for you; they would do whatever it takes to protect you if you are in danger even if it means putting their self in danger.

They also literally have your back, every single time. Ever wondered why when someone knocks your door, and you are going to check it, your dog walks behind you? That is them having your back, figuratively and literally.Answering the question why are dogs good pets?

2. They are always happy to see you

Everybody wants their best friend to be happy when they see them, but that is not always the case because sometimes they might just be dealing with their issues or they even need a break from you, which is normal. But your dog would always be happy to see you, jumping on you and going everywhere with you. Even when they do not jump, you see their tails wagging in excitement.Having your dog jumping and barking for exciting when they see you, is a sight for sore eyes any day.

3. They are very smart

Dogs are very smart creatures, although some breeds are much smarter than the others. According to research, dogs can learn up to 400 words, although they cannot speak this words they understand and express themselves using multiple facial expressions.

That thing your dog does that you think is cute and they probably do accidentally? They do it on purpose.

4. They are very forgiving

The reason human best friend relationships are complicated is that they are not forgiving and hold grudges. But your dog has a short-term memory when it comes to remembering the times you hurt them. You can tug on their tail, their ears all you want, after a while they forget, and all is right between you two again, leaving you with the simple answer why dogs are best pets.

It is no surprise that our four legged friends love snow days as much as we do. It is magical to watch a puppy run through snow for the first time but we want to give you some tips on keeping them safe during these cold, snowy days:

1. Give your dog adequate time to adjust to conditions. Acclimating them to the cold weather is key; do this by letting them outside for shorter amounts of time more frequently throughout the day.
2. Adapting to cold depends on the dog. Puppies and geriatric pets are less adaptable to the cold due to not being able to regulate their body temperature as well as young to middle aged dogs.
3. Prepare your pet. Winter weather clothing and booties help protect them from the elements. However be mindful of leaving their jackets/sweaters on when they are unsupervised.
4. Wipe their paws. Snow and ice can be damaging to their paw pads especially if they are not used to it. Wiping their paws and fur off when they come inside will help minimize frost bite and help them warm up more quickly.
5. Keep a watchful eye for exposure to toxins. Rock salt is not toxic to dogs however ingestion can cause gastrointestinal upset. Antifreeze however can be extremely toxic to dogs. Be watchful for blue or green colored snow on driveways or sidewalks. If you think your pet has come in contact with antifreeze, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Enjoy the snow with your furry best friend- stay safe and warm!
