The paws of dogs are a very important part of their bodies. In fact, there are many little secrets hidden in dog paws, which many shovelers don’t know.
Secret 1. There are many forms of dog paws. There are also many types of dog paws. They will be subject to the growth environment and lifestyle, as well as human aesthetic breeding, resulting in different forms of dogs.
The more common ones are cat claw type (Teddy, Bichon, Akita, etc.); rabbit claw (Samoyed, Bellington, Greyhound, etc.); snow boot type (Alaska, Tibetan Mastiff, etc.).
Secret 2. There may be 5 toes on dogs
Dogs are either born with 4 toes. Some dogs will have an extra toe on the edge, called wolf toes. A wolf toe is a semi-degraded finger, and people call it a thumb, similar to a human thumb.
However, because it is useless, people will help their dogs remove them when they are young.
Secret 3. Dog paws have the "popcorn smell"
Many poop shovelers will smell the dog's feet when they are petting their dogs, and you will find that the dog's feet has a bit of popcorn smell. In fact, this is because there are some bacteria on the soles of the feet, which produce a unique odor when the bacteria reproduce.
For example, yeast is a bit like popcorn; while Proteus is a bit like cornflakes. So some shovelers like to smell the dog's feet and think it's very good.
Secret 4. The meat pads of dogs’ soles can reduce shock
We know that dogs usually walk very lightly and have almost no sound. This is because there is a layer of fat tissue on the soles of their feet, and soft fat can protect the soles of their feet.
So their dog paws are not only shockproof, but also keep warm. When a dog jumps up, the meat pads in the soles of the feet can also serve as an auxiliary function and can also reduce the damage when landing.
Secret 5. Dogs should "shave their feet" regularly
The dog also has feet, and they will grow without any care, especially when walking on the ceramic floor at home, the dog will easily fall.
So many people regularly cut some hairs in the soles of their dogs, otherwise the dog will slip when walking.
When the owner trims his hair, if the dog does not cooperate, he can feed snacks to divert his attention.
Pay attention to the cleaning of the dog's soles and wipe it after going home, so as to reduce the number of bacteria brought into the home. You should help your dog take a bath regularly and clean your hair and skin so that it can be healthy and smell good. If the dog's hair is not of good quality, you can feed some lecithin to eat it, which can make your hair beautiful.
