Despite the fact that dogs were domesticated by humans several thousand years ago, people still believe in some myths about these animals.
It is curious that over the years their number does not decrease, nor do the number of people who continue to believe in them.
Experts have listed the most common and dangerous misconceptions people have about dogs.
Dogs are natural swimmers.
It is believed that a dog only needs to be put into water and it will swim. Few people know that some breeds cannot swim or find it especially difficult. This applies to dachshunds, greyhounds, pugs, bulldogs and other breeds.
Dogs love scraps and bones
This is the surest way to ruin the digestion of a dog that is ready to eat anything it can find.
Chocolate, onions and garlic, grapes and other products are dangerous for the animal's health, and bones are not digested and can injure the stomach (especially chicken bones).
Dry nose is a sign of illness
A dog's nose may be dry and warm when it's just half asleep, due to dry air in the house, exposure to the sun, or when teeth are changing.
You should be concerned if other symptoms appear in addition to this.
The breed of a dog influences its character
It has been proven that the character and behavior of a dog is determined by the upbringing and conditions of keeping the dog.
It is also believed that adult dogs cannot be trained and educated. But this is also a myth, since everything depends on the owner's skills and the time devoted to training.
