In Chinese culture, the dog belongs to one of the 12 zodiac signs, the 11th place in the 12 zodiac signs.

The biological origin of dogs can be traced back to tens of millions of years ago, and the history of dog domestication is about 15,000 years ago in the Mesolithic Age, and some scientists even argue from the perspective of genetics that dogs may have been domesticated by humans as early as 100,000 years ago.

The first humans deciphered a dog's genome was in 2005 – even before researchers used genetic tools to trace the earliest homes of dogs. Early studies have identified a high degree of genetic diversity in dogs in East Asia, and other key markers in many rural dog populations, leading them to point to East Asia as the earliest place where dogs were domesticated by humans.

Gasp. Because the sweat glands of dogs are underdeveloped and cannot be cooled down by sweating, they will pant to cool themselves down and will soon lose water.

Vomiting or diarrhea. If the dog has diarrhea, it will cause a large loss of water in the body, and more water needs to enter the body to make up for it. However, drinking too much water may exacerbate the dog's vomiting, and the owner should control the amount of water added.

Diet. Switching from wetter foods to coarse grains, or eating saltier foods or snacks can cause thirst.

Drugs. Check your dog's medications*** to determine if this is an underlying cause.

Cushing's disease:You may mistake it for the aging process, which is actually caused by too much cortisol in the blood. If it is thirstier than usual, has an enlarged belly, severe hair loss or other ** problems, then the culprit of the dog's thirst may be Cushing's disease.

Influenza:When you have the flu, the doctor tells you to drink plenty of hot water. The same goes for dogs, they will be very conscious of drinking more water.

Hypercalcemia: In this case, too much calcium is produced in the dog's body. The dog's kidneys sense high levels of calcium and try to flush them with urine, resulting in increased thirst and urination.

However, over time, the accumulation of calcium in the kidneys can lead to kidney failure.

Dogs need fresh water every day, and the owner should change the dog's water every day, put drinking water in a cool place, and pay attention to whether the water is sufficient at all times.
