Why Dogs Hide Food: You'll Be Surprised
Sometimes it is very interesting to watch dogs, as they perform very curious actions.
For example, a pet can hide its food in the apartment.
In a private house or at a dacha, a dog can use the yard space as a "storage area".
Why do dogs need this?
It is always worth remembering that domestic dogs have highly developed instincts, which were characteristic of their ancestors. At one time, animals survived precisely because of their instincts.
That's why in some dogs they manifest themselves clearly and strongly.
In the wild, animals often hide food. This helps them survive when hunting luck is not on their side. In this case, "surprises" can save a dog's life.
That's why domestic dogs have the same fear of "hungry times." That's why they sometimes make reserves.
Also, sometimes a dog is simply forced to do this if the owner does not feed the dog in the proper amount.
Sometimes dogs hide food if they are not the only pet: in this case, the animal is trying to protect itself from competition.
