Why Dogs Sniff

Dogs rely on their noses more than their eyes when encountering new people or environments. If a dog sniffs your crotch, it’s not being rude—it’s simply gathering information! Humans have scent glands in that area, and dogs use their powerful sense of smell to learn all they can about you. It’s their way of saying hello!

How Many Teeth Dogs Have

Just like humans, dogs go through a teething process. Puppies start with 28 baby teeth—14 on the top and 14 on the bottom. As they grow, these teeth fall out, making way for a full set of 42 adult teeth—20 on the top and 22 on the bottom. So, if you find a tiny tooth in your puppy’s chew toy, don’t worry—it’s a natural part of growing up!
