Every holiday season brings viral videos and social media posts of canines in costumes. And while seeing a pet in a costume is adorable — it can also be dangerous. As Halloween draws near, experts are cautioning pet owners about the popular practice.

Regardless of how used a dog may be to wearing clothing, costumes should never be ill-fitting, because canines tend to have sensitive or irritable skin, or have anything that limits the dog's mobility, or could be choked on.

If you're one of those people who created a social media page for your dog, then keep reading.

Although it sounds like a dream job, the duties of a pup influencer can be ruff. Not only must the Chief Fluff Officer stay groomed and camera ready, but be "comfortable showing off their best poses, sassy struts, tail wags, tricks and expressions" online.

In return, the pooch will get paid, receive fun products and occasionally travel for photoshoots.

According to a new study, petting a dog can supercharge our frontal cortex, the part of the brain overseeing how we think and feel.

Researchers used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in the study, which is a portable brain scanner that measures brain activity via oxygen saturation of the blood in the brain.

This is an interesting, rigorously conducted study that provides new insight into associations between human-animal interaction and regional prefrontal brain activity in healthy adults.

It is often said of dogs that they look like their doting owners - but the resemblance is not just limited to appearance, as the pets act like them too.

There are links between some of the most popular breeds and the dominant personality traits shown by their owners.

Those who have border terriers are likely to be charming, lively and exuberant, while Staffordshire bull terrier fans are trustworthy and the most affectionate.

Jack Russell owners, such as King Charles, are the most loyal and faithful, with 88 per cent of them displaying these traits.

Those with cocker spaniels, top the list for being the most curious, creative and family-orientated.

Embark Veterinary, Inc., a global leader in dog health and genetics, today announced the launch of its Age Test. A first-of-its-kind product in the dog DNA industry, the Age Test uses a unique Embark-designed algorithm to measure a dog's age.

The test relies on the cutting-edge field of epigenetics — the study of how external factors can change the way genes work — to estimate when a dog was born.

The ultimate goal of the Age Test is to empower dog owners with the knowledge they need to provide personalized pet care. Knowing a dog's age helps unlock the unique story behind a rescue dog with an unknown past. Further, identifying a dog's life stage can be crucial to making the right decisions regarding exercise, nutrition, and veterinary care.

A new study of young wolves suggests they are indeed capable of making doglike attachments to people. Under some circumstances, they might even view humans as a source of comfort and protection.

The new work utilizes an experiment known as the Strange Situation test. Originally created to study attachment between human infants and their mothers, it measures how the stress of being confronted with an unfamiliar person or setting changes a subject’s behavior when they’re reunited with their caregiver. More interaction implies a tighter bond.

Wolves aren’t born wanting to participate in such experiments, so the team behind the new study had to do some heavy coddling early on.

Growing up, just about everyone dreams of having a dog they can teach tricks. So if that's your aim, or if you want a doggo who can compete in competitions, or just hope for a family pet who responds well to positive reinforcement training as to not tear up the furniture and jump on strangers, one prime characteristic of the smartest dog breeds is they're quick learners.

For a dog who can just about do it all, a border collie fits that description perfectly. These brilliant herding dogs have been keeping flocks of sheep safe throughout Scotland and Wales for centuries, and shepherds often refer to them as "the perfect shepherding dog."

Dogs are our best friends, they're always there to comfort us and put a smile on our face, but how can we reciprocate these attentions when they're the ones feeling down

While dogs' mental health is not really a popular concern, a study from neuroscientist at Emory University, discovered that dogs do have feelings just like humans, and their sensors are in the same part of the brain as humans.

Dogs are very empathetic animals and can take on our emotions pretty quickly, so you should avoid projecting your own feelings on your pet.

When choosing a dog to suit your lifestyle, it's important that you take into account their genetic traits, typical characteristics and physical needs. This includes making the decision between a boisterous and energetic breed or a calmer and quieter one.

🐶Afghan hounds are generally quiet and independent, though they can be playful and affectionate around their favourite humans

🐶Akitas can make excellent guard dogs and will typically only bark to alert you of danger

🐶The chow chow is a stoic, independent dog breed known for its bear-like appearance and bluish-black tongue. Chows are generally not barkers unless they sense danger. Even then, they're not especially vocal.

Diet and exercise do not matter the same for a dog’s heart health as they do for people, so it’s important to not think about your dog’s heart the same way you think of yours.

Plaque buildup and lifestyle choices don’t impact a dog heart very often, and instead they deal with heart issues from birth or caused by aging.

Instead, to keep your dog’s heart healthy, you should keep them active and take them for regular check-ups with a veterinarian to listen for an irregular heartbeat or heart murmur, both indicators of heart disease.

You should also keep your dog up-to-date on heartworm prevention medication or shots to prevent an infection leading to heart failure. It’s important to take preventive measures against heart disease for dogs.

The study, based on the behaviour of 22 dogs, looked at the reactions of dogs who were reunited with their owners and with other people they knew.

They discovered when the dogs saw their owners, it was the only time they shed tears.

To see whether the tears were linked to their emotions, the researchers applied a solution containing oxytocin, a key hormone involved in bonding, to the dogs. After they used the hormone, they found the dogs' tears significantly increased.

Many dog owners include their furry family members in every aspect of their lives, from mealtimes to vacations. The most devoted pet parents go so far as allowing Fido to snuggle into their bed at the end of the day. They may be cute, but anyone who's ever woken up next to a slobbering face knows that dogs don't always make the best sleep companions.

According to the analysis, the Bernese mountain dog poses the greatest risk to your bed sheets and sleep quality.

Bred for mountain life, males from this breed can weigh up to 115 pounds. That means they'll make any mattress smaller than a California king feel crowded. They score high marks in loudness and energy, but even calmer dogs can cause problems. With a five out of five rating in the shedding department, the breed is famous for leaving its hairy mark wherever it goes.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its monkeypox guidance to include dogs as animals that can catch the virus.

Infected people should limit contact with animals as much as they can, don’t let them near your skin lesions, don’t cough on them, try to prevent that aerosol-type of exposure and just distance as much as possible. If the animal has been exposed, you should keep the animal away from other people in case they’ve been infected.

Ideally you should keep a pet that has been exposed by monkeypox away from others for at least 21 days, which is the same recommendation for humans.
