Sometimes, dogs' behavior reveals a number of unusual features that can surprise, amuse, and amaze us.
Chasing one's own tail can easily be included among them.
Sometimes we can't understand what this behavior is connected with. But it has a completely logical explanation - and even more than one.
Why is the dog interested in his tail
The dog thinks it's a toy
We are talking, of course, about very young animals and even puppies. The dog does not immediately realize the integrity of its body, so it thinks that the tail is just a curious toy.
Over time, the animal calms down and stops "chasing", experts note.
It's a way to have fun
Sometimes a dog chases its tail simply because it has no alternative options: the owner is busy with his own business and does not pay any attention to it.
In this case, the dog begins to entertain itself.
Parasites
Sometimes the reason is simple and banal: the dog has parasites. Therefore, if possible, it is worth examining the animal and undergoing the necessary course of treatment.
