Cocker owners, this one's for you 🐶

Those long ears hide an ear canal shaped like an L. Wax and dirt collect at the bend, and the heavy ear flaps keep it warm and damp. Research from the Royal Veterinary College found Cockers are almost 15 times more likely to have ear discharge than other breeds.

A weekly look makes a big difference: check for redness, a smell or dark wax, and dry the ears after a swim. If something looks off, ask your vet before cleaning.

How often do you check your dog's ears? 👇

Did you know your dog's tail has a left and a right? 🐾

In a 2007 study, scientists filmed dogs' tails as they saw different things. When dogs saw their owner, they wagged more to their own right. When they faced an unfamiliar dog that made them uneasy, they wagged more to the left.

In 2013 the same team found that other dogs pick up on it: dogs watching a left-leaning wag had a faster heart rate and seemed more anxious.

Watch your dog's tail next time you get home, then tell us: right or left? 👇
