Your Canine's
Sense of Smell

A much larger part of a dog’s brain is devoted to processing smells than yours. Some search dogs locate people buried under the snow of avalanches, search for evidence in crime, and find people in the water. Cloudy days, mornings, and evenings are the best times for dogs to search. And depending on the conditions, dogs can pick up a scent up to a half a mile away!

Your dog may be fussing when they have a common dog health problem.

Dog health is also a consideration. Just as dogs yip and yawp when they are physically uncomfortable, they may also do the same when they are sick, injured or aging.

Your dog should visit the vet at least once a year, should be clean and groomed, current with vaccinations, and free of fleas, ticks and mites. Claws should be kept clipped to prevent tearing them, which may cause infection.

Inspect your dog’s ears, teeth and paw pads regularly, and be aware that changes in maturation (puppyhood-to-adolescence-to adulthood- to aging) may require adjustments in the type and quantity of food your dog eats. Like people, dogs may develop food or environmental allergies, which may require your vet’s assistance to diagnose and treat.
