There are certain facts that many people consider to be useless pieces of information, I?m sure you have come across some of these facts once in a while. Here are a few from the dog world.

Did You Know? In America there is more spent annually on dog food than on baby food? I always wondered why I never saw a baby rip into a 20 pouind bag of food?

Did You Know? Larger puppies take longer to be ready for adult food (up to 18 months) than smaller breeds, who can be ready as early as nine months.

Did You Know? The term 'Dudley' dates back to 1877 to a particular dog named Lord Dudley, who had liver coloured pigmentation of the nose and lips. Dogs who have noses that slowly fade from black and go lighter or go freckled with many lighter shades therefore having a liver coloured pigmentation are know to have a Dudley Nose.

Did You Know? When your dog is sniffing the air they can detect changes in the airflow around the face. This is because they have touch sensitive tiny hairs on their muzzle that allows them to do this. These hairs are known as Vibrissae.
