50 cosas sobre Perros | Curiosidades que no sabes sobre tu compañero canino

Foreign. We're going to Eurovision, right? I don't like the song. These are cliches.

Hello, I'm Carlos, a clinical veterinarian at Small Animals. Welcome to the Happy Pets and Families Channel. Today, since I'm also a YouTuber, we've decided to make a slightly different video, 50 Things About Me. Uh, that doesn't interest me.

Well, then, tak 50 things about pets. Huh? No, too generic.

Tak 50 things about dogs.

Okay, fine.

We've prepared this video with 50 interesting things about dogs that you may not know. What's for sure is that you, as an animal lover, will probably find it very interesting. But don't get mad at me, cat lovers, because if you like this video, we'll do a video about cats later on. 50 interesting things about dogs that you may not know. Here we go. 1. I'm sure your dog is unique to you, but what really makes it unmistakable from other dogs is its snout. A dog's snout is like a human's fingerprint.

But what does it have? Like our fingers? Like this?

Sure. The little mark. If you make that with an imprint, that's unique. No other dog has them the same. 2. Sometimes it seems like your dog is listening to you. And not only that, but they can learn up to 500 words. In addition, it has been discovered that they not only understand intonation, but they can also learn simple phrases and concepts. Of all the dog breeds, the most intelligent is the border collie. You probably don't know this, but there is a border collie named Chase who is the most intelligent dog in the world. He has Learned up to 102 words and has his own Instagram. I don't know if he manages it. If you want to know where to find him, we'll leave the link in the description box. Contrary to what many people think, dogs don't sweat through their tongues, but rather through their paws. It's the part of their body where most of their sweat glands are concentrated. Did you know that dogs can suffer from depression? It's a phenomenon that has been studied extensively. They can be affected by both phenomena. And things that happen, happen within your family, such as not going outside enough and not getting enough physical exercise.

People just like people dogs don't see in black and white. It seems that humans always think that animals see in black and white. But dogs actually see from blue to yellow, including a range of grays and whites. The oldest breed of dog is the Saluki, which was immortalized in Egyptian engravings. You're a dog that still exists today? Yes, it's Like a greyhound. Oh, okay.

Did you know that dogs can also help you if you have a serious illness? There are some dogs that are trained to detect problems such as cancer or even highs and lows in blood sugar, as happens in diabetes.

And what does the dog do when it detects this? It barks at that moment or licks your hand. So if you see that your dog is behaving a little strangely, don't take him to factor X. Look at yourself if you have a problem. And speaking of detecting things, did you know that dogs at airports sit down when they detect drugs? Of course, police dogs are trained. If a police officer approaches you with a dog and sits down next to you, start to tremble or see what he has gotten into your suitcase, and we continue finding things. Did you know that when rescue dogs are looking for people in a disaster, they think they are playing? We already talked about this. This topic in the video about Frida, the Mexican Labrador who saved so many lives in last year's earthquake. If you want to know more about how they do it and want to know her story, we'll leave the link here in the description box and up here in a card. Did you know that dogs don't enjoy hugs as much as humans do? Dogs can understand being hugged as a sign of dominance, so try not to do it with yours. Although not all dogs are equally intelligent, the average intelligence of a dog is estimated to be more or less that of a two year old child. Although, well, I don't think a two year old child can really learn 500 words. Of course they can. Yes, they can learn year old children who can already talk. Oh, so I know more about dogs than I do about children. And this is something that most dog owners are wondering. How old is your dog in human years? I can tell you that the physical development of a one year old dog is more or less equivalent to that of a 15 year old person. And they're also about as old as a baby. Well, that could be the case. There are some that are as old as babies their entire lives. Uh, dogs. I'm talking about dogs. Although there are also some humans who. Dogs can hear sounds four times further away than humans. That means their hearing capacity is very great. That's probably why they're afraid of storms and firecrackers. If you recall, we've already talked about this topic in another video. So if you want to know how to help them, we'll leave the link in the description box and on a card here. I think you made this video so you can Promote all the previous videos. Did you know that your dog can sense your emotions? It's true. Dogs have an incredible sense of smell that can help them know how you are. For example, if you're scared, they're going to react differently than if you're happy. This, for example, is already reflected in popular culture. They also told me when I was little that if you were scared of dogs, you they would smell you. Dogs barked at me. And also, you know that you can help lower your dog's blood pressure simply by petting them. By petting them and without getting them excited. Because if you're constantly getting them excited about wanting to play, their blood pressure will skyrocket. But if you pet them and relax them, you'll lower their blood pressure in no time. Dogs sleep curled up to keep themselves warm and to protect their internal organs. That comes from their ancestors when they had to sleep outside and had to be protected themselves. Dogs can find smells very attractive that you find repugnant. So don't be surprised if after you've bathed your dog with your favorite shampoo, he comes home and sees something and rolls around in the park. Something? Yeah. Well, my friend's male dog found a dead rat and rolled around in it. He rolled around in some dead rats. How gross. It was kind of gross, right? And don't you know that not all dogs can bark? In the case of the basenji, it's a dog that can't bark and instead makes a very high pitched sound like a yodel. The Swedish Lu den is a dog that has six toes on its paws. And they have them that way because it helps them walk on very steep paths. Aren't you Norwegian?

Norwegian or Swedish? Oh, Norwegian, yes. We'll leave it in Scandinavian. And another one about dog smell. Did you know that bloodhounds can detect a scent that has been there for more than 300 hours? Bloodhounds are like bloodhounds. They are tracking dogs and that's why they have such a good sense of smell. And you've probably seen many times that when your dog is going to lie down, it circles around before settling down. That's something their ancestors inherited. And they usually did it to make a nest in areas of grass or very tall grass. That way they would crush the grass and make a little bed. Dalmatians are born almost completely white. The little spots gradually appear as they grow. And another false myth, not all dogs that are white are deaf, although popular culture has probably told you that they are. The thing is that a high percentage of them can end up being so like some Dos Matis. What does happen with all dogs is that when they are born, they are completely deaf and blind. The same happens with cats. As they grow, their hearing and eyesight gradually develop, and eventually they don't have any problems with either. Did you know that dogs have 18 muscles in each ear? And they don't just use those 18 muscles to orient their ears towards sound. They can also use those 18 muscles to express emotions to each other and to you. The Doomann breed was created by a German tax collector. He created them to defend themselves at night. He mixed several breeds of dogs to obtain an intelligent, strong and also intimidating dog. That's how the breed was born, which received its name many years later, in honor of its creator. And I'm sure you didn't know that the country with the most pet dogs is the United States. They have more than 75 million, and.

That'S apart from the strays, of course. And if the United States is the country with the most pet dogs, South Korea, Hong Kong and Japan are the countries with the fewest. And not in all cultures, the dog is the best friend by name. In countries like Morocco, it's the cat. And that's probably for religious reasons, because there's some story out there like a dog bit Muhammad or something like that. I mean, I haven't read coral or anything, but that's what's being said. There are cities like Madrid, the capital of Spain, where there are now more dogs than children under five. And the Netherlands is the first country where there are no more stray dogs because there's a government plan that protects and cares for our canine companions. That's how the Netherlands is done. We'll vote for you in Eurovision, right?

I don't like the song France. And one of those myths that is true is that dogs can get their stomachs turned upside down. It's a disease called dilation and torsion of the stomach, which occurs when, for example, they exercise a lot and then drink or eat. If that happens to your dog, you need to go to the vet very quickly. And to break stereotypes, the Chinese don't usually eat dog as part of their diet. Just because there's a festival in that country where dog meat is consumed doesn't mean that everyone does. In fact, most Chinese citizens have never eaten dog meat, and most of them also reject these festivities. So stop with the cliches. Because I'm Spanish, I don't hear clapping and start watching flamenco. What an art we have.

I dance with feeling. I have it inside me Dogs smell each other's butts to recognize each other. They do this thanks to an organ that they have that you don't, called the Jacobson's organ. With this organ, which is located more or less in the nose, they can detect a lot of chemical substances and can tell, for example, the gender of the other dog or their emotional state. Living with dogs can help people avoid developing allergies or intolerances. That's what some studies say. I don't know, I'm a veterinarian. Dogs, like cats and other animals, see better than humans at night. And this is thanks to a part of their eye called the lucid tapetum, which reflects the little light in the environment and illuminates the retina from the inside. That's why dogs and cats eyes shine when you shine a flashlight on them. It's not your Labrador's fault that he can't stop eating, so don't tell him off. According to a study by Cambridge University, this is related to a gene, the PC gene. And this gene makes these animals not feel full. So they always ask you for food. You have to be the one to rein him in a little, otherwise he'll get fat. The poodle hasn't always been a dog of high society. It hasn't always been as refined as it is now. Originally, the poodle was used as a hunting dog in marshy areas of Germany. And related to that, the poodle has this particular haircut because it was done by the hunters themselves, since it served as a buoy in marshy areas, which is like the standard, because traditionally their hair was cut that way. And did you know that Toto, Dorothy's dog in the wizard of Oz, was actually a kin terrier named Terry. Terry was already earning $15 a week for filming in the 1930s, when some munches were only earning $50. The munches were the little guys who were in the first town Dorothy arrived at. Dogs, like other animals, like cats, do not have shoulder blades attached to their skeleton. This is because it gives them greater mobility and they can run faster. The shoulder blades are this bone here in the back that is also called the homoplatium, or shoulder blade. In common parlance. If you bathe your dog, you will already know how hard they can shake themselves to dry themselves. And in case you didn't know, your dog can shake their skin with up to 70 times the force of gravity to dry it of water. And a 27kg dog can use up to 20% of its daily calories, drying half a Liter of water from its skin. And you've probably seen hyaluronic acid creams advertised to smooth out wrinkles on your skin. The excessive accumulation of hyaluronic acid under the skin is precisely what causes the wrinkles on dogs. The Autonomous University of Barcelona has discovered that it's due to a gene mutation that causes this substance to accumulate under the skin. In other words, what makes creams for women or men, whatever you are, Smooth out the skin causes wrinkles in dogs. Yes, hyaluronic acid is a component of the tissue found under the skin. There are creams that claim to give you hyaluronic acid to make your skin more elastic and smoother. But in the case of dogs, since they have so much, so much, so much hyaluronic acid, what ends up happening are wrinkles, but soft wrinkles, not hard wrinkles like those on the skin. But please, if you start getting wrinkles, buy some cream. Don't rub your dog's face. And you didn't know that dogs can dream. They share those sleep phases with us, including the REM phase, with rapid eye movements and also some limb movements. Dogs, like other animals, have three eyelids, the two outer ones like yours, and they also have one inside that closes in a transverse way. This is to protect themselves from aggression, from foreign bodies that can get into the eye. And they also have a gland that secretes up to 40% of the tears they produce. This little gland sometimes comes out, and in dogs it produces what is normally known as cherry eye. Which is a disease, right? It is a disease. We have told you many times that adopting a dog involves a great responsibility. In countries like Spain, for example, it can cost between €700 and €100 a year, including cleaning, vet fees and food. You should take all of this into account before adopting a dog to see if you can take care of it. Always do it wisely. As you may know, dogs usually live between 10 and 14 years. But the longest living dog on record lived for almost 30 years. His name was Max and he was a beggle mix. He lived for 29 years and 282 days. He died in 2013. Oh, and finally, chocolate is toxic to dogs, which I've already told you about in another video and you probably already know, but lately I've been seeing people on social media who, probably, just for fun, give their dog a little chocolate. You shouldn't do that because it's toxic and can have serious consequences for your dog's health. If you remember what I told you in the video about the foods you can't give your dog. We'll leave the link in the description box or here on a card. Chocolate contains a toxic substance called theobromine. This substance is similar to caffeine and can cause problems ranging from mild indigestion to kidney problems. And if you give it too much, it can even kill you. Well, there you have it. We've reached 50 and that's it. Bye. Marich Karman, I hope you found it interesting and that it gave you some facts that you didn't know. And if there's any interesting facts that we haven't mentioned in these 50, you can also leave them in the comments so we can supplement the information a bit. And that's it. Hey, aren't you going to play dramatic music today? No, today we're not in the glorious Sara moment.

Oh, of course. Today we don't have to make any conclusions like that to make you think. And that's it for today's video. If you liked it, give it a like and share it with your friends and family. Remember that on Facebook we have a group that you can join and where we'll build community. In addition, there we can also answer some of your questions. Thank you very much for following the Happy Pets and Families channel and I'll see you in the next video. Let's get started. Don't throw it at me yet. You don't want to hit me right in the face. No, please. It hurts to defend yourself during your night walks. During your night walks, right? Oh, wait. Hey. It hurts, huh? Your night walks. Please don't laugh during your night walks. Nocturne created her to defend herself at night. Come on, Iz.

The one who makes race is called a creator. Or is it called something specific? They explained to me in philosophy that creating is from nothing. When you see something that exists, you don't say creating. Therefore, creating is a slightly more reasoned view for the God type who creates the world from nothing. Please. What philosophy? That there is a party in that country where dog is eaten does not mean that everything is consumed. Consumes. That there is a party in that country where dog is consumed. Dog meat. Oh, okay. Come on. Again. Wait, cut. I'm thinking. Inventor. Inventor. You invent dogs, don't create them, but you create a breed. You can create a breed. You can't create a breed. In your case, you mix the breed. Damn, I'm thinking and I'm getting nervous. Cut, cut. Whatever you want.
