Facts &Tails

Some cool things about your four legged friend, 
is just what you need!

How cool is it the dog was one of the first animals domesticated by humans, and the first living creature sent into space was Laika a female dog launched by the former USSR on November 3, 1957.The heaviest dog ever weighed, came in at 319 pounds, and the oldest dog ever recorded died at age 29. 

Its crazy to think that these dogs we love so much have an impact on our history. They are always listening to us and what we have to say, but we need to listen to them too.

A loosely wagging tail communicates friendliness and some excitement. One held low can also be indicating fear or anxiety. Although most tail-wagging dogs have good intentions, aggressive dogs may also wag their tails. Threatening or aggressive dogs will wag their tails more rapidly at the tip and hold their tails high.

Dogs are highly social animals with ancestral roots in the pack organization of wolves. Because they live in social groups, they have developed a complex language using facial expressions, body postures and tail movements.

How do we make them happy you ask? Start with a Balancing diet, keeping up with healthcare, ensuring they get enough exercise, and making sure they are involved with other dogs and people!
