Dogs Lying on Their Backs – Why Do Dog Do That?

dogs lying on their backs

Dogs lying on their backs – why do they do that?!

Often we have seen dogs lying on their backs — legs in the air — and rush to the conclusion something is dreadfully wrong!  The first couple time we found Annie out in the yard lying on her back – legs in the air –it panicked us thinking she was seriously sick.  Urgently rushing to rescue her, she would leisurely open her eyes, lick her lips and ask for a tummy rub.

Many of us dog owners have experienced these similar moments of panic seeing their dogs lying on their backs.  Why do they do that?

Dogs lie on their backs for the simple pleasure of it – especially when they are planning on taking a nap.  A dog who sleeps on their back is really comfortable and feels very safe.  That should make us happy to know our dogs are feeling safe, because in my opinion, when a dog feels safe it brings out the best in them.

Plus it is impossible to underestimate the sense of security a dog must feel to expose their softest, most vulnerable part – their undersides.  Dogs naturally keep their belly’s protected and out of sight.

Another reason for a dog lying on their back is to show submission to another dog or person – showing submission

Dog often lie on their backs as a means of temperature control.  The sparse fur on their bellies allows the breeze to reach their skin more easily and cool off.

Another reason we find dogs lying on their back is to get some sun.  Other than their noses, the tummy is the only place that is not covered with thick fur.  Annie suns herself on her back and you would think she is in heaven.dogs lying on their backs

Also, is there a better way to invite a belly rub is to lie on your back?  Roll over, splay the legs and put their bellies in the most “tummy rub accessible” position.  Our dogs are are very wise.  Do this once and get the belly rub you had hoped for — well, this should work over and over again.

Why Does My Dog Do That? Chase cars, people, anything that moves?

Why Do Dogs Chase Cars?

dogs chase cars

We all wonder “why do dogs chase cars”!  First let’s talk about a dog’s legendary desire to chase.  Man has used dogs desire to chase to produce dogs that could herd sheep and cattle.  These genes have been passed along to our pet dogs, and that trait is particularly strong in those that are decended from herding stock.  If this desire is not channeled into acceptable games with toys, dog can pick up many bad habits and get into a great deal of trouble for carrying out inappropriate chases.

Border collies are among the best chasers in the world.  This dog is excited by the man running past and gives chase.  He is a friendly dog and his intentions is not the bite the man, but to catch up with him.  However, some dogs will nip when they get close, especially if they are very excited by the chase or are scared of strangers.  Since people can become scared or hurt by this behavior, it is essential to divert it into games with toys.

Dogs chasing cars – I can run faster than you!  Cars run away quickly and present the perfect chance for a good chase.  some dogs become so obsessed with car chasing that they will continue even after they have experienced an accident that leaves them seriously injured.  This is a SERIOUS game to play, as both the dog and the people involved can easily be injured or killed.

How can we stop dogs chasing cars?  Here is an alternative.

Dogs can learn to enjoy chasing the light beam of a flash light.  The beam moves fast and erratically.  Since dogs are more interested in chasing than catching, this can be a exciting and fulfilling game.  A positive alternative to chasing cars!!

How Orthopedic Dog Beds Help your Dog’s Arthritis

Orthopedic Dog Beds and Your Arthritic Dog

Orthopedic Dog Beds for arthritis in dogs

Osteoarthritis affects one in five dogs in America and is commonly caused by fractures, inflammation or dietary deficiencies among other things. Comfortable orthopedic memory foam beds are available for people with arthritis so why wouldn’t you allow your dog the same level of comfort as they age? Here’s how orthopedic beds can help your dog’s arthritis.

Orthopedic Dog Beds and Your Arthritic Dog

Memory Foam Orthopedic Dog Beds Provide Support

Memory foam technology is ideal for dogs with arthritic conditions as it molds to your dog’s shape providing a supportive surface to sleep on. The technology is the same in dog beds as it is for people beds, making it ideal for older dogs with joint conditions. The weight is evenly distributed across the bed relieving the pressure on the joints and it ‘remembers’ your dog’s shape making it more comfortable.

Accessibility

Regular dog beds are difficult for an arthritic dog to get into and your dog may have to curl up to sleep. Arthritic dogs may have trouble curling up in this way but orthopedic beds allow them a wider, longer space to stretch out. Although there may be walls on either side, there is still enough room for your dog to move around and get in a position that is comfortable with their condition.

They Regulate Temperature

Orthopedic memory foam regulates temperature allowing your arthritic dog to stay warm. Arthritis research shows that heat treatment helps decrease joint pain associated with arthritis and the memory foam can help retain heat by molding to the shape of your dog’s body. The heat allows your dog’s muscles to relax and eases the inflammation associated with arthritis. There are also heated beds available for extra warmth.

Sale $149 – Gel Memory Foam Dog Beds Not Just  a Regular Bed!

 

Why not buy just a regular bed?  Memory foam beds are built with a liner which can be easily removed and washed. As the bed itself will no longer perform its function if washed, the liner protects it from the dirt your dog brings into your home, making it easier to clean than regular beds. Many typical ‘dog beds’ can also soak up household toxins which are harmful to dogs, these include some cleaning products which your dog may ingest if it chews the bed.

Investing in an orthopedic bed can ease your dog’s suffering and prevent other age-related problems from occurring. Keeping your dog comfortable is also likely to save you costly medical bills for complications associated with arthritis or other joint-related problems.
