Fun Fido Facts - 5 facts about Dogs!

Over the next few weeks and months, I will be doing Pretty Pooches special "Fido Facts". 5 facts on different breeds of dog, training, grooming, and all things doggy!

If you want to have your dogs photo included or want to write some facts to be included here then feel free to message me and I will include them in the blog!


Fun Fido Facts - Dogs!
  1. The scientific name for a dog is Canis Lupus Familiaris. They have been domesticated and companions to us humans for around 10,000 years.

    Canis Lupus (Wolf) - Canis Lupus Familiaris (Dog).
  2. It is widely accepted that the Chihuahua is the worlds smallest breed of dog, although many Yorkshire Terriers and Pomeranians are very close.

  3. The worlds largest breed is often accepted as being the Great Dane. However it has been argued that many Mastiffs are larger, or at least heavier, and that the Irish Wolfhound is sometimes taller.
    Worlds largest dog, George the Great Dane.

  4. The oldest dog ever recorded was an Australian Cattle Dog named Bluey. He was 29 years and 5 months old when he passed away. In human years, this makes him around 160 years old!

  5. Most dogs are born with their markings, however there is an exception! When Dalmation puppies are born they are completely white, their spots develop over their first few weeks.

Why must the world fight?

The attacks recently are so awful, and Louis says it best - Why must we fight? This world is big enough for us all, if only we could learn to share and to get along with each other.

How to... Entertain rabbits!

I have 3 adorable Mini Rex rabbits named Cookie, Hazel and Eeyore. I am always looking for new and interesting to entertain them with, and today I made them some new treat balls.

I picked up some cheap grass small pet beds at the pound shop, stuffed them with hay, added some fresh green vegetables, then stuffed in more hay on top.

Grass bed designed for small animals such as hamsters, rats and other small pets to sleep in.
Designed to be chewed and eaten by them, so safe to use as a toy.

Sprouts - I used 3 sprouts per rabbits toy, but you can use any other rabbit safe foods.

Stuffed with fresh hay, fun for them to pull out and an essential part of a rabbits diet.

The end result was a large round ball that they can eat, rip apart, throw about, chew on, nudge around, and play with to their hearts content. The fresh green food is very good for them but make sure not to include too much as it can upset their stomachs.

Cookie absolutely loved it! The other two liked them too, but Cookie went mad over it, even ignoring his food for this new toy! Couldn't get the best photo of him playing with it as he wouldn't stay still, but here he is with his new favourite toy!



Cookie gives this new toy a 10 out of 10! He is one very happy bunny!
