AMAZING FACTS ABOUT DOGS

Want to know more about your favorite companion?

We know that it fills us with a sense of joy and wonder whenever we hear interesting facts about our best friends. Find out why your dog acts the way he does.

 

  1. Dogs’ noses are wet to help absorb scent chemicals

Dogs lick their noses to keep them moisturized because it enhances their sense of smell. A cold, wet nose captures scent particles and allows a dog to get a better handle on where a scent is coming from and how strong that scent is. But the moisture isn’t just coming from within, your dog is keeping its nose wet.

 

  1. Dogs sense of smell is at least 40x better than humans.

The area of cells in the brain that detect different smells is around 40 times larger in dogs than in humans. This means that your dog can pick up on way more smells than we ever could. This is why dogs are often used to sniff out people, drugs, and even money!

 

  1. Dogs can be trained to detect cancer and other diseases in humans.

Cancerous cells release different metabolic waste products than healthy cells in the human body. Dogs may even be able to sniff out cancer cells simply by smelling someone’s breath.

 

  1. Dogs don’t sweat, instead, they pant to cool themselves.

While dogs do sweat, don’t expect them to be getting damp armpits any time soon. Where humans sweat watery liquid to cool down, dogs produce a pheromone-laden oily substance that we humans can’t detect (dogs know it’s there because of that great sense of smell). The only place that dogs sweat like us is on their paws, so instead, they pant to cool down. 

 

  1. A dog’s nose print is unique, much like a human’s fingerprints.

 

  1. Some dogs are incredible swimmers and some are so fast and could even beat a cheetah!

 

  1. Dogs’ hearing is super sensitive.

We all know dogs can hear much higher frequencies than us, but did you know they can also hear further? Generally, dogs can hear much softer sounds than we can, so they can hear things that are much further away.

 

  1. Dogs can learn more than 1,000 words.

 

  1. Puppies have 28 teeth and adult dogs have 42.

 

  1. A dog’s whiskers are used as sensing devices.
