    WE DO NOT NEED A TRAILER FOR THE VIDEO AT THE START OF THE VIDEO. WE ARE ALREADY WATCHING THE VIDEO.

    In all fairness, a lot of human food isn't exactly great for humans either.
  • @divinitaazteca
    I like how they were asked behavioural questions and they had to answer... It's like asking an ER doctor questions that you would ask a therapist or something
  • @tempest2711
    My dog shows "guilt" before I react, like hiding before I see what he has done, but I think he just knows I won't be happy rather than actually feeling bad (particularly because if he actually felt guilty he wouldn't do things repeatedly)
  • I'm scared of the people who think that Dog Saliva can heal wounds. Like, bruh your dog will lick their genitals, their own poo and you are telling me that their lick would heal wounds.
  • I laughed when they said that dogs love their reflection in mirrors! When we moved into our previous place, we had 2 mirror closet doors, and our dog kept growling, snarling and even picked fights with her reflection lol she didn't hurt herself or anything, but it was hilarious 😆

    “Dogs don’t like to be hugged... biggest myth” flashback to when I was 4 and I hugged my uncle’s Rottweiler and then woke up in the ER

    I think the 'you can't teach old dogs new tricks' applies to people more than dogs.

    About Myth 14 - I wish the vet would've actually read and mentioned the study about said heart disease w/ grain free diets. It's not the lack of grains / grain free-ness that causes this condition. It's believed to be the grainfree filler used in the cheap grainfree diets, (we believe it's high amounts of Legumes) that leads to this issue. Also there have been maybe 300 reported cases throughout 5 years. They did a study of which of these dogs ate what foods and they all ate the same 6 grain-free meals, whereas others (Orijen's for example) had no reported cases. Therefor it is believed that one of the ingredients not present in said kibble vs the others might be the cause. That being said.. if your dog has an allegy and needs grain free food - still better than allergic reactions. Aaaaalso the vast majority of reported cases were in the same 4 breeds. So genetics in the dogs themselves also play a HUGE role.
  • The hypoallergenic dog myth is a big one. My husband is allergic and his friends bought a big doodle to be “hypoallergenic” for him—he sneezes a ton with that dog. We adopted a 25 lb wire haired dog and he is not very allergic to him simply because he’s smaller so has fewer allergens and we wash him frequently
  • I read this as “vegetarian” debunk dog myths. And I was like...wut? Let me see real quick
  • @mybrokenbum4505
    Hats off to the lady who rolled out of bed to answer obvious questions
  • Myth 5- Depends on the dog. If your dog naturally sheds and has a double coat DO NOT SHAVE. However, there are nonshedding dogs that instead of shedding their fur will just grow and grow like human hair, It is recommended by the Vet to shave and groom them.
  • @tjknight
    "Dogs don't like hugs" Well I wouldn't consider grabbing my face a hug either, go low enough that they can move their head freely and most dogs I've known are quite cuddly
  • Dogs with double coats like German shepherds and huskies should never have their fur shaved.

    Regarding the reflection thing: it definitely happens. My dog was adopted when she was 8 months old and had only ever lived in a shelter in a small fence with other 20 dogs. She came home very untrusting, specially of other dogs. We would often saw her growling for no apparent reason until on day we realized she was growling at the oven's glass and the window. It was her reflection she was growlinh at. Her darkened reflection. Not the reflection on a mirror. As she grew more comfortable in our house, she began to growl less to that other sneaky dog in the shadows
