🐶 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐦?

The answer is: Yes.

But, not to be consumed as a daily treat.

Why? Simply because ham is high in fat and sodium, which can be harmful to dogs in large quantities.

𝗗𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 give your dog ham bones. Raw ham bones can contain salmonella and other bacteria harmful to dogs. If your dog eats a ham bone and has signs of constipation or appears ill, rush to your nearest vet available!

Remember, feed in moderation.

Well... It is fine for our furkids to consume pineapple in 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, although some mentioned that it is better to avoid due to its high sugar content. But once in awhile is really fine.

The fruit is 𝐧𝐨𝐭 toxic for dogs, but you should still monitor your pet for any unusual reactions, such as an 𝐮𝐩𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡, especially the first time they eat pineapple. But if you know that your furkid has a weak stomach, it's better to consult a vet before offering your pet something new to try.

𝗜𝘀 𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀?

Yes, it actually is.

Pineapple is packed with 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐬.

It includes vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and iron. However, dogs fed on a complete diet will already have the right balance of everything they need, and do not require additional supplementation. This means that there is no nutritional reason to add pineapple to your dog’s diet, so it should only be given as an occasional treat, never a daily consumption.

𝐓𝐨 𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝:

𝟏. The core and the skin of the pineapple are very hard and can be a choking hazard for your pet. Make sure to remove those and only offer your dog the flesh of the fruit, cut into bite-sized chunks.

𝟐. Always always avoid the canned version pineapples. Only feed your furkids fresh pineapples.

The answer is: 𝐘𝐞𝐬, dogs can eat pears.

Pears are a great treat for your furkids because they’re 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧 𝐂, 𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧 𝐀, 𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧 𝐊 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫. It’s been suggested that eating the fruit can reduce the risk of having a stroke by 50 percent.

But just because it is safe for doggos in consume pears, it 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭 be fed on a daily basis, the same goes for any food/fruits. It should be 𝐟𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐠'𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞, 𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐭𝐜.

Too much pears could lead to an 𝐮𝐩𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡.

Also, just be sure to cut the pears into bite-size chunks before feeding it to your furkids. And 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭, as the seeds contain traces of cyanide which is toxic for dogs.

Lastly... 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡, 𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬. 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 canned pears as they contain too much sugar, which is of course, bad for your furkids.

🐶 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴

Over the years... There has been an active debate in the dog community about whether or not co-sleeping with your dog is a good practice, and is it really good for you?

Well, some studies mentioned that 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭’𝐬 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩. While on the other hand, there are also several studies that 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴.

But what are the benefits of sleeping with your dog? While he or she might have their own personalized bowls, specialist food and even the cutest outfits. But some owners are not sure about letting their pet sleep in the same bed.

We’ve put together a few beneficial factors that you need to know about sleeping with your dog so you can make the right choice for you and your family.

𝟏. 𝐈𝐭 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭
One of the reasons a recent study found more than half of dog owners allow their dogs to sleep in the same bed as them was because 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝. Having a snuggle with your furkid does make you feel better at the end of a long day and curling up to sleep with them can just prolong this feeling. (𝘞𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘷𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵!!!) But minority of dog owners surveyed said that they felt their dog either had no effect on the quality of their sleep or made them sleep better. Well, no wrong or right, it's just what you prefer.

p/s: it does helps you to sleep better knowing that they're around!

𝟐. 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐬/𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧
As anyone who suffers from depression or have went through a depression state can totally relate to this- It can be hard to get yourself motivated every day. When the depressive vibes hit you, it can be rather difficult to see a way to continue doing your work or whatever you're doing.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐩𝐞𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.

Just knowing you need to get up and feed, walk and look after your furkid can help you have more of a purpose and give you the motivation you need.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐈𝐭 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞.

𝟑. 𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞
Having a dog can lower your blood pressure which can be very helpful if you suffer from 𝘩𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯.

A study showed that, 60 male and female participants had their blood pressure measured while they petted a dog.

Also, owners who sleep with their dog actually agree that it helps calm their anxiety and mind, providing a very soothing night. Thus, the lower in blood pressure. Research also showed that, touching and petting a dog while you sleep can reduce and alleviate the symptoms of high blood pressure.

𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞:
𝟒. It increases a sense of security
𝟓. It eases insomnia
𝟔. Helps fight loneliness
𝟕. Improves your sleep quality in general
𝟖. It reduces stress and anxiety
𝟗. Hit helps strengthen your bond with your furkid
𝟏𝟎. Promotes a healthy heart and overall health

𝟑 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐨-𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐝:

𝟏. If they aren't properly house-trained, if you want your dog to sleep with you, you gotta put in work in providing trainings.
𝟐. If you have 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬. You may allow your dog into the same room as you, but preferably not co-sleeping with you on the bed.
𝟑. When you've a new dog. No, not exactly a pup.

But all in all, through and through, we do agree that sleeping with your dog really helps in terms of many things. Like; helps cure your insomnia, keeps you secured and comforted, keeps you safe and warm and generally- it made us a lot happier when sleeping with our dogs.

Oh, and 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐧𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬, just-so-you-know!

Do you allow your furkid to sleep with you? Yes or no? If no, why?

🐶 𝗗𝗼 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺?

The answer is: 𝐘𝐞𝐬, dogs do dream.

This is a topic that sparks curiosity amongst many many dog owners. Many people believe that dogs do dream and it is true, dogs do dream just like hoomans.

All dog owners have witnessed the 𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐚𝐰𝐬, 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫, 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐝𝐝-𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭-𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐤 and 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐥 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐩 𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 whilst they are sleeping.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦?

Well, because when our furkids are sleeping, the brain wave patterns of our doggos are very much similar to that of hoomans and they go through the same stages of electrical activity observed in hoomans, all of which are consistent with the idea that dogs are actually dreaming.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐞?

There are in fact a few signs that you could take note to determine what your furkid is dreaming about- be it a good or a bad dream.

If your dog is simply 𝐩𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, they’re probably having a good dream, most likely about play-time or dreaming about yummy snacks! But if your dog is 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐜𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 in their sleep, then they may be having a nightmare, in which they feel threatened, anxious or scared.

𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐲... 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢 𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦?

Well, there isn't a right answer to it. You may or you may not.

If you believe your dog is having a bad dream, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐛 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦, even though it may seem very tempting to wake them up and comfort them. It could take your pet a moment to realize that they are no longer asleep, also, you don’t want to risk them lashing out at you as though they are still in a dream, which generally doesn't happen often of course.

But if you must, 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 and please do not shake them up vigorously. Make sure the 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐦 when you're calling them. Also, instead of trying to pet them, you may try stroking them gently.

Sometimes, it might take awhile for them to wake up completely, just know that it is totally fine.

🐶 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲? 𝗢𝗿 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻?

Many at times... Our furkids amuse us with their facial expressions and they tend to mirror our behavior and try to exhibit the same facial expressions and emotions that we feel- whether it’s happy, sad or angry.

𝐁𝐮𝐭, 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡?

Well... This is another highly debatable topic among animals behaviorists. Studies show that most behaviorists agree that 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐝𝐨. One simple way to determine whether your dog is happy or not, it's by observing his/her tail and ears. Of course, other factors play a part too.

However, dogs can make a sound that is similar to a laugh, which they typically do 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠. It is caused by a breathy panting that’s forcefully exhaled. It’s considered to be a 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲-𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐭 rather than a dog laugh and dogs use it to invite hoomans and other dogs to play. Several animal species have been observed to play-pant, including primates. Dog play-pants are combined with body language that invites you to play such as 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐰𝐬, 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐰 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐣𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐱𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐫.

Now we know that dogs cannot really laugh like how hoomans do, but, 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞?

We have seen photos of dogs on the internet that seems to grin from ear to ear portraying a smiley face. But very much similar with laughing, 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐝𝐨.

However, 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞. This happens when they open their mouths and pull back their lips, letting their tongues lap over their teeth. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 “𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞” 𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐱𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲, which is why dog owners think it is a smile.

Also, dogs are very very intelligent animals and so, they can be trained to understand the command of "smile" and proceeds to display it. That is what some owners train their dogs to do.

𝐈𝐟 𝐚 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞, 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐢 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐟 𝐡𝐞/𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲?

Alot of factors will come into play regarding this question, but a general rule of thumb is by learning their language and observing their tails and ears.

Many think that a dog that wags his/her equates to showing happiness, but this isn’t necessarily true. Dogs use their tails for a range of communications and the message depends on the tail’s positioning.

𝐀 𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, where the tail is naturally held for the breed, 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐱𝐞𝐝.

When dogs drop their tails to a 𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, it’s a 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲.

And when they 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.

So instead of focusing on whether your dog is smiling or laughing, it makes more sense to 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐚 𝐝𝐨𝐠’𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 to see if they are happy, sad, anxious and etc.

A basic understanding or a simple way to start is that you may look at the whole body for signs like a wagging tail, an open mouth and a relaxed pose. This usually determines he/she is happy and relaxed.

Feel free to share a photo of your furkid smiling in the comment section below! 𝐖𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦!

🐶 𝗗𝗼 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗴?

Unfortunately, 𝐲𝐞𝐬. Dogs do get lonely being the only dog, but also, it depends on individual dogs & their environment. We are not implying that all dogs will feel that way but generally; most dogs do.

You see- on days when we have to work, we'll feel sad or guilty when we are leaving the house, right? And personally, what I always do is that i'll tell my furkid,"𝘋𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯! 𝘉𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘺?" And proceeds to giving him a kiss. I believe most dogs owners will!

And as loving pet owners, we can’t help but feel a twinge of guilt when we have to leave our dogs at home alone for long periods of time yeah? But hey... Don’t beat yourself up too much though, it’s nearly impossible to have your dog by your side at all times, unless you're working from home or have flexi hours.

But why do dogs get lonely? Well, because dogs are descendants of wolves and they are pack animals who do pretty much everything together. Wolves sleep together, hunt together and eat together, literally everything. (Unless you're an outcast) Although dogs have a long history of domestication that separates them from their wild ancestors, they’re still inherently social animals.

Oh... 𝐄𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐮𝐩 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐲:

𝟏. Chewing and other destructive behaviors
(This might be out of boredom or lack of daily exercise)
𝟐. Barking or howling constantly
𝟑. Pacing or hiding
𝟒. Potty accidents
𝟓. Reduced appetite
𝟔. Whining and constantly checks on door
𝟕. Literally sleeping throughout your absence

One way to check on your dog is to set up a 𝐬𝐩𝐲-𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐚 at home.

We know it’s very heartbreaking & saddening to see your dog suffer while you are out and about. But fret not, there are actually ways to help alleviate loneliness and boredom, making separation easier between hoomans and doggos.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐲:

𝟏. Leave cozy items like your blankets or your t-shirts that have your scent on it. It does helps to cure their separation anxiety and loneliness.
𝟐. Creating a secured zone for them. For instance; get a pet gate and choose a secure area of your home, whether it’s the entire living room, a bedroom, or a small portion of the kitchen and section it off for your furkid.
𝟑. Get a timer-treat device. It disperses treats for your furkid based on the time-frame you set. It helps ease the loneliness. Reason being: Which doggo doesn't love treats, right?

*𝐎𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐠?* We'll touch on this topic on the next post. As it is gonna be a long write-up. Also... It's not that simple to getting another dog just for the sake of curing your dog's loneliness. 𝐍𝐎, 𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐲.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧:

We all agree that the best cure for loneliness is 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩. So, one alternative you may consider is to engage a trusted dog lover or a walk-my-dog kinda service/provider. Even if the walk or the attention might just be a mere 30mins, it does 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐓. Trust me, your furkid will appreciate it.

In a perfect world, our dream is to spend every single day with our dog by our side, but in harsh reality, 𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧. But you shouldn't be too afraid if you've done your preparation & right training catered for your furkid. Your time away from your furkid can actually be cheerful and worry-free.

It's quite common for a dog to feel lonely if he/she is the only one at home for a 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞. So you don't have be too alarmed.

But is it something bad? Well, 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝... In a sense that it's not good for your furkid's 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥- 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠. So do consider the pointers that we have mentioned above.

But if you need help or if you've any other enquiries regarding this, simply drop us a message!

🐶 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗳?

The answer is: 𝐘𝐞𝐬.

In fact, beef is quite a common ingredient in many dog foods. It’s an 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 and many other important 𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐬 that is beneficial for your furkid's overall health.

𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞:

𝟏. Lean beef/Ground beef is very very much preferred.
𝟐. If you’re not using ground beef, make sure to cut the steak into small pieces that are easy to chew.
𝟑. Be sure to remove any bones and excess fat as they are difficult for your dog to digest completely.
𝟒. Plain beef is more than enough. Do not add seasonings like garlic, onion and salt.
𝟓. Beef can be incorporated as part of their meal or as a treat, but do not make it a daily necessity. Feed in moderation.

𝐁𝐮𝐭, 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐰 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐟?

Yes and no. There isn't a specific answer for this. While beef is definitely a great source of protein and healthy fats, but there are also 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐫𝐚𝐰 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐟.

Raw ground beef puts your dog at risk for 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢(A bacterial contamination). 𝘚𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 often leads to 𝐠𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.

Also... Raw meat is 𝐧𝐨𝐭 recommended for 𝐩𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐫 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧:

It is safe for our dogs to consume cooked beef but not so much with raw beef. This isn't entirely an advice, but personally for us, we only feed cooked beef to our lovely furkids. Also, we prefer lean beef/ground beef.

Also... If you've already been feeding beef to your dogs, do share with us how you whip up a doggo-friendly meal for your furkids! We would love to hear from you! 😉
