😏OK..NOW WHAT? (your Q & A)
Where does my dogs personality come from?
So, what shapes your dog's personality?
From walking to sniffing to playing, why do dogs behave so differently even within their own breeds?
Research into this question revealed that a mix of genetics, environment, & experiences play a big role in the special character your pup develops.
From traits tied to their breed to the interplay they have with the world around them (that includes you🙂), each aspect adds to molding your dog's personality.
Also, brain size has been linked to mental abilities & temperament, impacting how they respond to stimuli & their surroundings.
Dogs breed-specific traits lay the base for certain behaviors, while environmental factors, including upbringing & social interactions, further sculpt your dog's temperament & demeanor.
It’s a complex relationship between nature & nurture in developing your dogs personality.
Appreciating these influences, that shape your pup's character, allows you to better understand & relate with their behavior.

Why dogs snore & when it matters.🐽
🌟Why is it sometimes our pooches sound like a truck engine when they are sleeping.
Is It Normal that Dogs Snore. Yes, occasional snoring is normal for dogs, just like us dog parents.
Common Causes of Dog Snoring. Factors like:
Breed-specific anatomy (think French Bulldogs & Pugs)
Obesity,
Allergies
Respiratory infections
All can contribute to add those adorable yet noisy ZZZs.
How to Stop Your Dog From Snoring. Tips for a peaceful sleep include:
Weight management
Protecting against infections
Controlling air quality
Adjusting sleeping positions (we find a gentle nudge helps 😁)
If your pup's snoring is more of a nightmare than a cute quirk, or your pup seems uncomfortable or blocked up it might be time to consult your vet.
A well-rested dog is a happy pup, as a well rested dog parent is a happy dog parent! 🐶💤

The centuries old goodness of turmeric in treats💗
There’s a lot of talk about how good anti-inflammatory foods are for us dog parents.
Well it’s the same for our pups.

1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
½ teaspoon turmeric
Pinch black pepper

🧐FACT or FLUFF??...Answer. FLUFF
Dogs eyes have three eyelids. The third eyelid is called a haw & it protects the eye from injury, cleans the cornea, produces extra tears & fights infection.
