I. Dogs rolling in the grass may have parasites

The dog's parasites can be a great enemy of dogs, and one that owners are very reluctant to see. Whether it's fleas, ticks, or mites, these parasites can all be harmful to dogs. What's even more frightening is that the densely packed worms are parasitic on the dog's body and reproduce daily without stopping. Such a scene is horrible to think about. Owners spend a lot of energy and money to keep these parasites from harming our fur kids. However, no matter how much we train, the dog still can't help but go to that piece of grass where there may be parasites and roll around, why is that?

Many times, we subconsciously use the human mind to see the behavior of animals, as the highest IQ of mammals, we certainly understand that the parasites are likely to be lurking in the warm and wet grass, but the dog does not understand, it only knows that the grass has a very rich sense of smell, in the temptation to explore. To play. This leads to the fact that the dog will burrow into the grass even if it has just been treated for parasites.
Not only that, but some dogs like to roll in the grass, but rolling in the grass is not a good thing. This is the time when the owner needs to pay attention. Is the dog playing or is it trying to achieve something when rolling in the grass? Because he may be trying to repel parasites. Rolling in the grass is one of the most common methods used by dogs to get rid of worms.

Many animals have their methods of repelling parasites, for example, cows and pigs will dip their bodies in mud and water to make a mud bath, and birds are throwing sand on their bodies to make a sand bath. Dogs, on the other hand, have different coats than they do, and they can only repel parasites by rolling on top of the grass. The hope is that the sharp and fine grass will take away the parasites and eggs in the process as it cuts through their fur. However, this method is not effective but may lead to mutual infection or aggravation of the disease.
Because the parasites and eggs do not die immediately when they leave the dog's body, they are likely to lurk on the grass and leaves. If a dog comes in here soon after and rolls around because of playing or parasites, it will be a disaster. After all, we don't know if there are parasites hidden in this seemingly clean grass that we can't see. As owners, how can we protect our furry children?

Regular deworming
Regular deworming is the owner's job, once a month for external worming and once every three months for internal worming. Keeping a consistent deworming schedule is the only way to keep your dog healthy and free from parasites. Of course, there are now sprays that can be used as protection when you go out.

Changing your dog's habits
Keep your dog out of wet, warm places like grass or woods, and get into the habit of bathing regularly. Also, avoid your dog touching or eating items that are on the side of the road and come from unknown sources.
You can do these two things to isolate most of the parasites, but the rest is to clean the dog's living environment and keep it tidy. This way, you don't have to worry about your dog attracting parasites.

II. Why do dogs roll in the grass

1銆丳urely for the fun of it
This first point is the reason why pooper scoopers are so angry, dogs sometimes roll on the ground simply because they are happy, this will make them feel happy and physically very comfortable, for them this is the best way to relax.
This is a move that is related to the dog's natural character, and it leaves the pooper scooper with nothing to say, it is happy, and you can do nothing about it.

2銆丠ide the smell
Dogs sometimes roll on the ground related to their ancestral nature. The reason why dogs are often mistaken for wolves or wolves are mistaken for dogs is because dogs evolved slowly from wolves, and wolves are considered the ancestors of dogs.
Dogs' roll and their wild nature are linked, and the purpose of doing so is to cover up their scent to avoid being detected by the enemy when hunting for prey. So that's why dogs not only like to roll on the ground but also prefer to run to a very dirty and smelly place, all to better hide.

3, want to remove their smell
This reason is somewhat similar to the second point at first glance but different. Dogs have an unusually sensitive sense of smell, for many humans feel good smell or human smell is difficult to smell, to the dog, there is pungent, disgusting.
If you just give the dog a fragrant wash, the dog ran to the ground and rolls, which means that the dog of the bath gel "fragrance" is not very fond of, and wants to roll through to try to get rid of their body smell.

4, physical discomfort
Seeing the dog rolling on the ground that looks makes people think that the dog is itchy skin to beat it, hey, do not say, the dog rolling on the ground is possible because of the body itch.
If the dog is unwell and feels itchy, it will roll on the ground, especially after a bath, the wet hair more so that the dog feels itchy, so dogs often go to the ground just after a bath to twist a circle, which is also for a reason.
This reason causes the dog to roll on the ground for no reason, the pooper scooper should pay attention to the possibility that the dog's hair has worms or is infected with a skin disease.


5, venting energy
Today's dogs are kept as pets, many dogs are living in high-rise buildings, trapped at home every day is very difficult, so once outdoors, breathing fresh air, seeing the open grass, the dogs naturally can not control their want to vent.

6, said pampering
Familiar with the dog's body language of the shovel should be understood, the dog lying on the ground, on all fours to show belly, that is to say, that it is very happy, wants to get the attention of the shovel and petting, this is to say pampering Oh.
The cute dog is not only in their appearance and good behavior, just like humans will also have bad moods, dogs will also have their little temper, many times the dog does not know how to pinch things, so you still need to shovel more patience to teach Oh!

7銆乀he dog is making the bed
Dogs playing outside, but also very enjoyable, when they want to sleep, will also have the habit of rolling grass, so that the weeds can be pressed down so that they sleep more comfortably.
Especially in cold weather, the dog will sleep on the grass to sunbathe!
