Behavior

If your dog is licking his paws red and raw, don’t ignore it. The problem is unlikely to go away on its own, but we have some remedies you can try on your own.

When your dog races around at top speed, seemingly unprovoked and with a wild look in her eye, she hasn’t gone mad – she has a case of the “zoomies!” This is usually a sign of a happy dog, but be aware: Zoomies can also indicate that your dog is stressed.

Does your dog bite his feet or chew on his nails? There are a number of potential medical reasons for this – but it might just be a habit.

When dogs mate, they will usually “get stuck” together. Attempting to “unstick” dogs that are mating can result in serious harm to one or both dogs. Instead, keep them calm and just wait for them to separate naturally.

Is a dog twitching while asleep actually having a seizure?

While it may seem like it, dogs do not bark without a reason.

And how you can keep them out of the cat’s litter box.

Do you feed your dog before you leave home for the day, but your dog doesn’t eat the food until you get home? That’s a sign he’s a little (or a lot) stressed at being left home alone.

Why your dog may be keeping you up at night by whining – and how to stop his crying.

Studies have shown that dogs can dream, so they probably can have dog night terrors, too.

Sniffing butts is dog body language. It’s the canine way of getting to know one another.

Are dogs sentient? Seems so. Research shows they appear to understand how their actions affect other dog's and humans.
