Why are dogs so obsessed with bugs? πΎπ
One minute they're calmly walking through the yard sniffing away.
The next, they're staring intensely at a beetle, chasing a fly (or lizard for my Henry), or trying to investigate something crawling through the grass.
Dogs may be interested in bugs because of:
β movement
β curiosity
β hunting instincts
β interesting smells
Most bug encounters are harmless, but there are a few situations where pet parents should pay closer attention.
Henry is definitely the neighborhood wildlife inspector. His investigations don't always go as planned, and I know they're all laughing at him (heck, I am as well). π§π
Does your dog chase bugs, watch them, or try to eat them?
