Are you looking to see some dog myths busted? There are many common misconceptions about dogs in popular culture, and we're here to debunk some of the most prevalent myths floating around. Staying in the know is vital to the success of any pet parent, especially when it comes to your furbaby and her health. You might be wondering can dogs see color? That's one myth we busted: dogs are not colorblind. They see a smaller spectrum of color as humans, but they can still see shades of blue, yellow, and yellow-green. The rate in which dogs age also isn't a strict seven years for every one, as most people believe. The rate in which dogs age depends mostly on size, breed and your pup's genetic makeup. As a good rule of thumb, smaller dogs age slower than larger dogs. Most pet parents also believe that dogs mouths are cleaner than humans, but they have just as much bacteria, if not more, than a human mouth. Don't worry though, most of the bacteria is dog specific and not harmful to humans, so you can keep getting kisses from your four legged friend without fear. If you're wondering why your dog's nose is warm, we've got you covered. A warm nose also doesn't necessarily mean that your dog is sick, that can be affected by pollen, allergies or even her afternoon nap.
