š¾ The Top 10 Most Googled Dog Questions (Answered with a Wag and a Woof!) š¾
Dogs are adorable, hilarious, sometimes confusing little beings, and apparently, they leave us humans scratching our headsĀ a lot. How do we know? Because millions of dog parents type the same funny, weird, and sometimes gross questions into Google every single month.
From grass munching to tail chasing, here are the top 10 most Googled dog questions, with answers thatāll make you laugh and learn something new.
1. Why do dogs eat grass?
No, your pup isnāt trying to become vegan. Dogs eat grass for all kinds of reasons: it can aid digestion, ease nausea, or maybe they just like the crunchy texture. Think of it as their version of a light salad... minus the dressing.
2. How long are dogs pregnant?
Dog pregnancies are short and sweet - just aboutĀ 63 days. Thatās a little over two months before a litter of wiggly, squeaky puppies makes their grand entrance.
3. Why do dogs lick you?
Because they love you, plain and simple. Dogs lick to show affection, get attention, or because they like the salty taste of your skin. Translation: slobbery kisses = puppy love. šš¶
4. Why do dogs eat poop?
Ah yes, the infamous poop buffet. The official name is coprophagia, and while it grosses us out, itās surprisingly common. Sometimes itās boredom, sometimes itās instinct, and sometimesā¦ they just think itās a snack (ew).
5. What colors can dogs see?
Dogs donāt live in a black-and-white world! They see mostly shades of blue and yellow. That fire-engine red ball you bought? To your dog, itās more like muddy brown. Good thing they love it anyway.
6. How to trim dog nails?
Clipping nails is the ultimate test of bravery for both dog and human. The key? Just snip the tips and avoid the quick (the sensitive part inside the nail). If in doubt, your groomer or vet is a paw-saver.
7. Why is my dog shaking?
Shaking can mean a lot of things: excitement, nervousness, being chilly, or sometimes pain. If your pup shakes like a maraca all the time, a vet visit is a smart move.
8. How long do dogs live?
It depends on the breed and size. Smaller dogs often live longer (12ā16 years), while larger dogs tend to have shorter lifespans (8ā12 years). Either way, every year is filled with unconditional love.
9. What fruits can dogs eat?
Plenty! Dogs can enjoy apples, bananas, blueberries, watermelon (seedless), and more. But grapes and raisins? DEFINITELY not... theyāre toxic to pups. Stick to safe, sweet snacks. ššš¾
10. How old is my dog?
The ā1 dog year = 7 human yearsā rule is outdated. Dogs age super fast in their first two years, then more slowly after that. Breed and size also play a big role. Want to know your pupās real age? Ask your vet for the most accurate calculation.
