Every season, many summer residents are faced with the fact that their pets try to dig holes right on the plot.

Some people immediately start to worry about the health of their pet, because signs say that this is a bad sign for the dog.

But this is a misconception.

The animal has its own reasons for such strange behavior.

What do they consist of?

It's too hot outside

If you have not installed a special house for your dog that could help it cope with the heat, then the dog will definitely try to solve this problem on its own.

In such cases, the animal digs itself a great cool shelter. This helps the dog cool down, experts say.

Appetizing smell

It is worth remembering that dogs and I have completely different ideas about appetizing smells. Therefore, when using some types of supplements, you may notice that the animal has awakened an interest in "digging".

Similar behavior is observed if the dog has hidden the remains of food for itself just in case.

Other reasons

If your dog is in an "interesting" position, then she will consider the hole as the first shelter for puppies. But males dig holes in order to escape to explore the territory.
