Many dog owners notice in the summer that their pets can actively swing in the grass.
Although this behavior may not occur on a regular basis, it still raises questions for owners.
Why does the dog like to swing in the grass
The odor situation
It is worth remembering that many dogs still have highly developed instincts of their hunting ancestors. Therefore, sometimes with the help of grass, the dog "processes" itself with the smell of potential prey or an enemy, so that there is a chance to sneak up unnoticed.
The animal may also try to hide its personal scent so as not to provoke more dangerous predators, experts note.
A sign of good mood
Sometimes a dog doesn't think about what it's doing and why. If a dog is just swinging in the grass and looks happy, then the animal is simply in a good mood.
Many people believe that this is a very pleasant pastime for a dog.
Light massage
A dog cannot scratch certain areas of its body, so it may roll in the grass to relieve the discomfort.
In such cases, you need to remember how long ago you treated for fleas, ticks and other parasites.
