Bloodhound (definite introduction)
Sometimes we will find that dogs often eat food after eating it. They will find a place to store uneaten food. Perhaps many owners are confused about this behavior. Why do dogs like to hide food? This is related to the living environment of dogs in the past, because dogs were social animals in the past, so as long as there was food, a large group of dogs would often come to grab it, and many dogs would not be able to eat food because of this. So as long as there is plenty of food, they will hide it so that they can eat it when needed.
This strange meal behavior of dogs is inherited from the ancient instinct of their ancestors as hunters and scavengers. Because the ancestors of dogs could not expect humans to feed them twice a day on time and at a fixed time.
Precisely because dogs and other types of wild dogs cannot guarantee that they will have something to eat when they are hungry, dogs will hide their killed prey in different places, so that once When you are hungry but unable to catch prey, you may wish to return to these places to eat items.
Some domestic dogs, especially hound breeds like the Spaniel, still retain this original ability. In fact, some dogs will hide pieces of dog food in various corners or under furniture before they remember to continue eating.
Even if the dog has a fixed meal time every day, this ancient instinct will still encourage her to hide the dog food in different places so that the dog can go back and eat again at a later time. Review after a few minutes to find the hidden food and eat it again. But dogs can see that doing this can ensure a sufficient and safe source of food in the future.
The reason why dogs avoid food is a habit that has survived from a long time ago, so owners do not need to worry about it. If they want to get rid of this habit, then when feeding them Do it on time and at the right time, and remove the food bowl no matter whether there is food or not in the food bowl after feeding. Over time, their habit of avoiding food will be improved.
