🐾 Dog Facts

  • Dogs have about 300 million smell receptors — humans have only 5 million!

  • A dog’s sense of smell is so powerful, they can detect medical conditions like diabetes and seizures.

  • The Basenji is the only dog breed that doesn’t bark — it makes a yodel-like sound.

  • Dogs sweat only through their paws, and they cool themselves primarily by panting.

  • Puppies are born deaf, blind, and toothless — they start to open their eyes around 10–14 days old.

🍖 Nutrition & Food Facts

  • Chocolate is toxic to dogs — it contains theobromine which they can’t metabolize well.

  • Grapes, onions, garlic, and avocados are also dangerous and should be avoided.

  • Dogs are omnivores, not strict carnivores — they can eat veggies like carrots, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin.

  • Protein should be the main component of a dog’s diet, but balanced fat and carbs are important too.

  • Fresh water should be available at all times — dehydration can happen quickly, especially in summer.

🩺 Health & Wellness

  • Annual vet check-ups are crucial to detect early signs of disease or allergies.

  • Dogs are prone to obesity — especially when overfed and under-exercised.

  • Brushing your dog’s teeth can prevent periodontal disease — a very common issue in dogs.

  • Certain breeds like Bulldogs and Pugs often have breathing difficulties due to their short snouts.

  • Tick and flea prevention is essential year-round, not just in summer.

🧠 Training & Intelligence

  • The Border Collie is widely considered the most intelligent breed.

  • Dogs learn best through positive reinforcement (rewards, not punishment).

  • They can learn over 100 words and gestures — some even recognize up to 250!

  • Dogs can feel jealousy and empathy — they may try to comfort crying humans.
