dog in the sea, jumping slowly.
Contrary to what many believe, not all dogs were born to swim. The specimens with short legs, a flat or small snout and a broad chest in comparison to the rear have difficulties to float. That is, if you own dog breeds like Pug, Bulldog and Dachshund keep an eye out. They are not good swimmers and cannot stay in the water without monitoring.
On the other hand, some breeds stand out as excellent swimmers. Dogs of this type have developed mechanisms that help them at that time, for example, long, strong limbs and legs with membranes similar to fins. In addition, they already have a history of catching objects in the water and helping owners with water tasks.
Were you interested in meeting the swimming dogs? We selected six breeds that are great in environments that involve water.

Why do they shake?
Dogs do this for a number of reasons. Not only to dry off, but also to remove fleas, dust or other remnants that bother you, to stretch after a long nap or even stressful situations, such as after going to the vet, for example. Another common cause that makes them shake is the discomfort in the ears, either by itching, excess of dirt, inflammation, debris in the ear, among other reasons, especially if the animal has large ears.

TOP 10 Interesting Facts About Bernese Mountain Dog.
The history of the bernese mountain dog
In some parts of the world known as the Bernese bouvier or Bernese cowboy, a breed has existed since the 100th century BC, and is commonly used as a traction and herding dog.
For some mistaken for são bernardo, bernese has never been more used as a search and rescue dog, but rather performing functions that demanded more of its strength (such as pulling merchants' carts, for example).
The origin of the Bernese Mountain Dog
Raised in Switzerland, more precisely in the capital Bern, this dog with a slightly wavy and long coat has conquered the world over time. Despite being a dog from cold lands, capable of facing even the snow, the bernese is also present here in Brazil.
Because it is a very old breed, it is believed that the breed originated from the cross of Swiss shepherds and large Roman watchdogs. The breed is considered one of the most popular in western Europe, standing out for its docility.
Breed characteristics
The Bernese Mountain Dog is always tricolor. With very characteristic golden marks on the face and paws, it has white on the snout, chest, feet and hands. The rest of the body is black in color, from puppy.
As much as the bernese is a giant-sized dog, he is an excellent companion dog, adapting well to life at home. They tend to be very sociable pets with other animals and affectionate with humans.

after cleaning my dog teeth.
You probably don't know, but your pet's mouth can give valuable information about how his health is doing. It is important to pay attention to any changes he may have in his teeth and gums. If you notice any injury or fracture, speak to a veterinarian immediately.
Another important point is that, like you, your pet also needs regular hygiene to have a healthy and quality life. And one of the best ways to prevent diseases is by brushing his teeth daily or at least 3 times a week. It is preferable to brush from a puppy, just like we humans who get used to it from a young age. Anyway, if your dog is an adult and has never brushed, there are no problems. It is always time to start.
BENEFITS OF BRUSHING
Brushing canine teeth is essential for their health because it prevents bad breath, tartar and plaque that can cause infections and develop bacteria that can reach his bloodstream and damage his vital organs.
HOW TO BRUSH?
1) To brush the pet's teeth, choose an appropriate brush or a thimble and NEVER use human toothpaste, as it contains abrasives and other substances that can cause irritation. Do not use a human toothbrush either.
2) With the appropriate object, go through all of your dog's teeth. Never press the brush's bristles against his gums. Do not use your strength to not hurt yourself. Don't brush fast. Be patient if your dog is unaccustomed and very careful when brushing. The important thing is to gradually get used to it and play with it.
3) You don't need to rinse his mouth. Canine toothpaste is made just so that there is no problem with ingestion.
TIPS
1) Try to include in your dog's diet foods containing sodium hexametaphosphate (HMP) because this component is a mineral that, added to the food, prevents and reduces the accumulation of dental calculus in animals.
2) Take your pet to the veterinarian regularly, because even with healthy teeth, your dog should have a check up every six months, just like you.
As unfortunately many people do not know the importance of taking care of their pet's oral hygiene, in the end they end up having to take him to a veterinary clinic to clean tartar, whose procedure is complex, involves general anesthesia and has a cost high.

Dog catches mouse.
Dogs, cats and mice are natural enemies, right? Wrong. A pet family is doing how people review their concepts. The dog Sasha, the cat Jack and the mouse Tweaks were adopted together at the Oshkosh Area Humane Society (OAHS) shelter in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and simply do not come apart.
The trio was delivered to the shelter in early March, by the former tutor. "They had to move to a smaller place and were unable to keep three animals, so they brought them here," said Cheryl Rosenthal, OAHS communication and education coordinator for The Dodo. "Many people wonder why they did this, but not every place accepts animals, especially three," he explained.
When they arrived at the shelter, the animals underwent medical examinations. Jack was the first. "He was very scared, aggressive and did not cooperate with anyone," recalled Rosenthal. “Then one of the people on the team came up with an idea: Why don't we try to bring the dog too? And it was just incredible. As soon as the dog arrived, he transformed himself into a completely different cat. He became more relaxed, knowing that his friend was there. "

food vs training
Feeding for dogs is one of the main precautions for pet tutors. After all, far beyond choosing the most attractive option, the choice of food directly interferes with the health and development of pets.
It is not uncommon to have doubts on this subject, since it has a very advanced technical content and, therefore, it may end up bringing that little flea behind the ear even by experienced tutors.
If you also have this kind of doubt, rest assured that you have just come to the right place! We will learn more about dog food and how it is important for you to have a healthy, happy animal that has all the energy it needs to develop.
Read on to learn more about the importance of providing good dog food.Without a doubt! As with humans, animals also need to eat well, with a balanced and balanced diet, able to provide them with all the nutrients, vitamins, minerals, fats and moisture levels they need.
Whether by virtue of habit or just because we never thought about this issue with all the care it deserves, we can imagine that dog food should be done only to satisfy the animals' hunger, but this is only part of the process.
Let's use ourselves as examples again. Suppose that, every day, we eat only hamburgers, fried snacks, pizzas, french fries, cakes, sweet pies, chocolates, ice cream, sweets and soft drinks.
It is evident that these foods will satiate us, since they have such a capacity. However, its nutritional value falls far short of our needs, which means that we will not be hungry, but with poor health.
Equally, this also applies to dogs. Of course, we will not adopt this same diet, but the fact of giving them any food, just to satisfy their energy needs, neglects the fulfillment of their nutritional demands.
