Why do dogs sleep on their backs


Dogs sleep in a variety of positions, and the reasons why dogs sleep on their backs are as follows.

1, the dog sleeps on its back indicates the dog's trust in the home environment and the owner, the stomach is an extremely tender part, sleeping on its back is a reassurance to the environment.

2, maybe this sleeping position makes the dog feel more comfortable. Dogs sleeping on their backs is not an abnormal phenomenon, owners do not need to worry.

3, when the hot summer comes, the dog will feel very hot, no sweat glands on the body, but too much heat in the body needs to be discharged, then you will see the dog open its mouth, stick out its tongue, a big mouth panting, which is a way of heat exhaustion for dogs.



Cautions.

1, avoid using tofu or other soy products as a source of food for dogs, especially the kind of dogs with thick chests, such as Great Danes. These foods can stimulate the secretion of mucus and can easily cause life-threatening stomach swelling.

2, may need a certain food, because of the desire to eat rather than because of the body's needs, such as chocolate. But dogs don't do that. You have to pay attention to the dog's daily eating. Puppies can secrete an enzyme, and this enzyme can help puppies digest milk. But adult dogs can only secrete a very small amount of enzyme, which is not enough to help digest milk, so milk tends to cause bloating in dogs.

3, sweet tooth like life is probably a common problem for dogs and people, but treats, sugar and other sweets are very easy to lead to obesity, but also easy to cause the lack of absorption of calcium and dental caries disease, and dogs are unable to break down the sugar is not a little good for dogs.
