Why do dogs love to be slimy,

dirty Rolling in the place?

Maybe it thinks that the smell of the earth is better than the shower gel you choose for it? The level of human selection of fragrance needs to be improved, and Ben Wang still prefers to hang fragrances naturally ~

Maybe it uses mud as a new coat? How about it, is cement ash lining I’m more mature and stable~

Maybe it’s a play Invisible game? Mud is my auspicious suit, you can’t see me! Slightly a bit~

The most fundamental reason is that they don’t think the smell is stink at all.

It is true that dogs have a very sensitive sense of smell. Humans have about 6 million olfactory units, while dogs have about 300 million olfactory units.

But they don’t classify odors; they smell, there is a clear difference between odor and odor, but none of them are labeled and exist as “smells”.

On the basis that the sense of smell is not annoying, and the sense of touch likes to roll in sticky objects, then their such Behavior makes perfect sense. rolling in the mud and becoming a hobby.

While wild dog prey may have already smelled a stinky dog from a mile away, they automatically classify the odor as some dead, rotting object and be wary of it. will drop significantly.

The dog’s “worship” of scent is also about sharing: tagging your own scent.

A common trick of cats is to tag other creatures or objects with their scent, like a post-it note that says “my”.

And dogs can easily distinguish different smells. Among the same kind, if it has a unique smell, it is the most beautiful cub in this area.

Like stray dogs digging through trash, the more trash cans they can turn over, the more resources they have at their disposal.

Q2

Can soft mud also hurt dogs mercilessly?

Simply rolling in the mud won’t cause them to suffer from deadly diseases, and exposure to parasites and bacteria is a relatively easy situation to deal with.

That’s the trickiest thing if they start eating animal remains wrapped in mud, especially rodents, unintentionally digesting deadly toxins like dead mice.

Some dogs also eat feces. The most common thing in the quagmire is the excrement of all kinds of creatures. Don’t they all say that dogs can’t stop eating shit? The temptation is in front of them, and it is difficult for dogs to refuse.

Q3

Do dogs have no face, why do they have to eat shit?

Legacy of pre-domestication

After raising puppies in the den, the mother will eat the pup’s droppings to keep the area clean and to avoid odors from being caught by predators. Therefore, the habit of eating feces is a very common thing for them.

Dog-eating poop generally occurs at an early age, usually as the puppy grows, with healthy food and guidance from the owner. disappeared under a stable diet.

There are some health problems.

If an adult dog continues to eat its excrement or the excrement of other organisms, it may be due to parasites in the diet, nutritional deficiencies, or signs of other underlying health problems.

There are parasites in the intestinal tract, which will absorb the nutrients that the dog itself needs, and the dog will eat feces when the nutrition is insufficient.

Some medical conditions can lead to increased appetite in dogs, such as diabetes. When the body is deficient in digestive enzymes, it will also start eating feces because its body is eager to digest and absorb nutrients.

Show your dog that you are paying attention by clapping your hands or calling his name while he is attracted to the feces. Or attract it with other toys to make sure it doesn’t get boring, and it can also correct its poop-eating behavior.

A loud scolding or hitting can be counterproductive.

Q4

If the dog is not going to be turned away by the salted fish, how can I stop it from rolling around in the mud?

If you want to stop the dog from rolling in the mud from the source, the most effective way is to avoid taking the dog to places with mud so as not to get out of control.

When you’re trying a brand new dog walk, you inevitably run into a quagmire, and when the dog around you is ready to roll, you need to do everything you can to distract its attention. Then take the opportunity to take it away from the scene that might be the scene of a crime, pretending to be easy.

Don’t be afraid no matter how tired or hard you are, because if you wash a stinky dog, your head will be bigger.

If something has happened, just walk away when it’s done rolling and running towards you.

Keep your head down, don’t turn around, and run; as soon as you run, the silly dog thinks you’re playing with it and grins and pounces on you. By then, your task will be more than just washing a stinky dog.

 

Finally, dogs don’t know what smells we can or can’t accept, but we can limit the venue and allow dogs This should be the best way.

What should I pay attention to when cleaning a muddy dog?

Be sure to wash the mud off as soon as possible to prevent bacteria from getting on your dog’s fur or skin.

It may be easier to brush off dry mud than to wash off wet mud. So you can dry the dog with a towel first, then brush off the dry mud when you get home, and then rinse the mud deep in the hair.

Ear and paw pads are often overlooked for cleaning and viewing, so be careful.
