1- Dog urine is acidic

It's important to be careful with your puppy's urine, as it has a high acidic pH that can corrode metals, for example.

A good safe care option is the toilet mat, as it absorbs quickly and prevents leaks, in addition to not wetting their paws.

2- What you don't know about their heightened senses

Many know that dogs have a super sense of smell…

However, what many don't know is about their perceptiveness, in that they have 25 times more olfactory receptors than humans, so this explains several things.

For example, because of this high perspicacity, they can smell their owners from afar, among other things.

In addition, they have very sharp hearing and can hear much more than humans, so many are scared of fireworks.

3- Dogs dream

Have you ever stopped to watch your puppy when he is sleeping? 

Many of them make low sounds, move their paws and can change their sleeping position quickly.

That means he's in the deepest phase of sleep, and he's probably asleep.

4- Influence of the environment

The place where the dog lives forms its personality, did you know? 

For example, if it's a very crowded, hectic house, the tendency is for the puppy to be like that too.

And, this also happens in the same way when the house is quieter, the dog tends to be calmer. Therefore, the best thing is to try to maintain stability for your puppy.

5- Way to look

Have you ever heard someone say that dogs only see in black and white?

The fact is that they don't have a structure in their eyes that is capable of differentiating the color red, so they see it as something gray, explains a veterinarian.

Another thing too, is that dogs really manage to relate formats more than colors. 

So it's interesting to test several different types of toys for your dog to entertain.

6- Owning a dog is good for your health

It is not without reason that dogs have gained the reputation of being man's best friend. It was due to the adaptability of dogs to live with humans.

For this reason, they are able to improve mood, regulate emotions, which makes you willing to exercise, among other positive points.

For example, it helps even in love relationships.

In addition, it is worth remembering that all of this is backed by scientists at various universities around the world who explain this and more in depth.

7- Single muzzle

Have you ever heard that each snout is unique? That's right, each dog has a different snout, something similar to humans.

Just as humans have unique fingerprints, this happens to puppies, only this is with their snouts.
