Situations Your Dog Notices Before They Occur

There are many occasions when our dog notices certain events or situations before they occur, or before humans can notice them. But although it sometimes appears, the furry is not clairvoyant. We’ll tell you how your pet does to get ahead of certain facts.

How does a dog perceive situations before they occur

Author: Will Marlow

What happens is that dogs have very developed senses of smell and hearing. In addition, they have a great sense of orientation and their biological clock works perfectly. Thus, they are able to detect changes in their surroundings and somehow predict the facts with some success. For example.

storms

Long before a storm hits, the furry one realizes that it is getting closer because of the level of humidity in the environment. Also through his great hearing ability, he can hear thunder from great distances.

earthquakes

Once again, it seems to be because of good hearing that dogs detect earthquakes in advance. Although researchers do not completely agree on this issue, some maintain that, in fact, the dog perceives the vibrations produced in the earth through its paws.

When leaving or returning home

It is known that dogs adore their owners and that they also have all the time in the world to watch them. This seems to be the main reason they know we’re leaving the house, although we can do it outside of our routine. In the case of the return, the senses of hearing and smell come into play once again.

The death

Just as they have the ability to detect some diseases – like cancer and diabetes – dogs can also “smell” death. In fact, they have the ability to receive -through the smell- the chemical changes that occur in a person when he is close to death.

The proximity of the birth

Just as furry ones know first of all about their owner’s pregnancy, they will also notice that the time of delivery is approaching, even before their owner registers any sign of it.

Hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia and epilepsy attacks

Some dogs have the ability to detect epileptic seizures through their sense of smell and their good powers of observation. For this reason, they are trained to:

• Accompany people who suffer from this disease.
• Give the warning of an imminent attack.
• Ask for help if needed.

In addition, dogs can alert diabetic patients when their blood sugar levels are outside normal levels (hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia).

Your dog also notices your moods

But, in addition to anticipating some situations, our dear four-legged friends gained the good reputation of being able to detect our moods.

It’s just that they know us so well because, again, they have a lot of time to observe us. That’s why they know exactly if we are happy, frightened or afflicted by some problem.

In addition, they can accurately interpret our body language and thus they can easily recognize our feelings. And it is not new that a dog wants to comfort its owner when he notices that he is sad or distressed.

It is also very common to hear the phrase: “dogs smell fear”. And it is literally like that. When we are frightened, our body secretes pheromones that the animal easily sniffs.

Pay attention to your pet

Except for occasions when the dog is specifically trained to warn about some situations, it’s not that he’s going to detail with his fur and signs what’s about to happen, or about things he notices and you haven’t noticed yet (pregnancy, diseases, etc. ).

In each case, you will notice changes in the animal’s behavior that, once the fact takes place, you will be able to associate them with your dog’s previous attitude.

Therefore, pay close attention to your pet and you will avoid some things to surprise you.
