Dog

The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris when considered a subspecies of the wolf or Canis familiaris when considered a distinct species)is a member of the genus Canis (canines), which forms part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant terrestrial carnivore.The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa as modern wolves are not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated, which implies that the direct ancestor of the dog is extinct.The dog was the first species to be domesticated and has been selectively bredover millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes,More info:wiki

#9   Do Dogs Really Prefer Baby Talk? You Might Be Surprised,More info:nationalgeographic

Few of us can resist using baby talk with our dogs. Next time someone makes fun of you for it, you can tell them that science is on your side.

Commonplace among languages around the world, baby talk involves speaking to infants in a high-pitched, exaggerated way. It’s thought to help babies learn language, for example by making vowels clearer and strengthening social bonds with parents. (Apes do it, too.)

But dogs aren’t going to learn to speak, so does it make a difference when we talk that way to them? That’s the question posed by a study published this month in the journal Animal Cognition.

#5   8 Toxic Foods for Dogs,More info:consumerreports

A flurry of pet-food recalls in recent months has put pet owners on edge. According to the Food and Drug Administration, two children (and several cats and dogs) have become ill and at least three kittens have died after eating (or, in the children’s case, handling) raw pet food contaminated with harmful bacteria.

The majority of pet-food recalls since January have been for commercially prepared meals and snacks made from raw, or uncooked, ingredients. But the FDA says these aren’t the only types of foods that should worry pet owners.

Some seemingly harmless human foods can be downright deadly for your pup, too.

“Dogs in general react a little bit differently to diet variation than we do,” says Martine Hartogensis, D.V.M., the deputy director of the Office of Surveillance and Compliance at the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine. Their digestive systems are simply not as well-equipped as ours to process and eliminate certain foods, she says.

Dogs keep us company, help us stay fit and become our best friends for life. With more than four million dogs sharing our homes around Australia, it’s no wonder they are considered to be our most faithful companions.

Dogs are very social animals and make amazing pets. They thrive on plenty of socialisation, whether it be with the family, another dog or other playmates.

As easy-going as they may be, dogs still require enrichment, feeding, housing and ongoing socialisation, depending on their breed and health. Adopting a dog often means making a 15-year commitment, and all dogs, regardless of their age, breed and size, benefit from a level of training and veterinary care to ensure they stay happy and healthy.

It found that chocolate labs live significantly shorter lives than their black and yellow cousins, much to the surprise of those leading the study.

The University of Sydney team analyzed 33,000 veterinary patient records from the United Kingdom, comprising Labradors of all colors. Besides the startling life-expectancy findings, the researchers also found chocolate dogs had higher incidences of ear and skin problems.

The average age of non-chocolate labs was 12.1 years, more than 10 percent longer than chocolate ones at 10.7 years, the University of Sydney research found.

Paul McGreevy, who led the study, said the prevalence of ear inflammation was also twice as high in chocolate Labradors, who were four times more likely to suffer a kind of dermatitis.
