ASK DR. SCHELLING

DEAR DR. SCHELLING,

How well do dogs hear?

-Ian
Dear Ian,

Well, that all depends on how many treats you're holding when you're calling your dog. Just kidding! A dog's inner and middle ear is very similar to that of our own yet dogs are able to pick up higher frequencies of sound. To find out what makes a dog's hearing superior check out this article for more info.

Dear Max,

I love my dog very much and enjoy the unconditional love he gives me but I often wonder, why are dogs loyal?

Dear Jessica,

Maybe somewhere along the way we dogs figured out that in order to get a little love you've got to give a little love. Either way, I know that I'm one loyal canine and can't get enough of my humans. However there is some history behind our dependable nature and you can learn more about that behavior in this article.

Max's Mini-Reviews
 
MUSIC MY PET CLASSICAL CD: Who would have thought that a simple dog like me would turn out to be a classical music buff? Well, my humans bought me the Music My Pet Classical CD*, and it expanded my musical horizons. Now I like to kick back and put my paws up whenever it's playing. It mellows me; takes the edge off. Thunderstorms are more tolerable with Beethoven and Bach in the background. I wonder if these great composers tried out their music on their own dogs until they got it just right. Anyway, Max is all cultured now. Although I still like to howl at the fire engine when it passes by.

ATOMIC TREAT BALL DOG TOY : My Atomic Treat Ball is a blast! It combines two of my favorite things—playing and food. I admit that some questionable behavior has occurred (in the past) when I've been home alone, but now my Atomic Treat Ball leads me from temptation as I wile away the hours rolling and throwing it to get my goodies out. Well, if you'll excuse me, I've have to go beg my nuclear family (ha ha) for a ride to the store, so we can get some more snacks to fill up my Atomic Treat Ball!
