Situations That Your Dog Perceives Before They Occur

There are many occasions when our dog perceives certain events or situations before they occur or before humans can become aware of them. But, although it sometimes seems like it, the furry man is not clairvoyant. We will tell you how your pet does to anticipate certain events.

How a dog perceives situations

It happens that dogs have very developed smell and hearing. In addition, they have a great sense of direction and their biological clock works perfectly. Thus they manage to detect changes in the environment that surrounds them and, in some way, predict some events. For instance.

Storms

Long before a storm breaks out, the furry warns that it is approaching due to the degree of humidity in the environment. Also through his great hearing ability he can hear thunder at great distances.

Earthquakes

It seems that thanks once again to their good hearing, dogs detect earthquakes in advance. Although the researchers do not fully agree on this issue, some maintain that, in reality, the dog perceives the vibrations that are produced in the ground through its paws.

When you go out or come home

It is known that dogs adore their owners and that, in addition, they have all the time in the world to observe them. This seems to be the main reason they know that we are going to leave the house even if we do it outside of the routine. In the case of the return, the senses of hearing and smell play again.

Death

Like the ability to detect some diseases – such as cancer and diabetes – dogs can also “smell” death. In fact, they have the ability to perceive – through smell – the chemical changes that occur in a being when it is about to die.

The proximity of delivery

Just as furry animals warn before anyone else that their owner is pregnant, they will also perceive that the time to give birth is approaching, even when their owner does not register any sign of it.

Hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and seizures of epilepsy

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 alert before the imminence of an attack.

• Ask for help if necessary.

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

Your dog has the ability to perceive certain situations before they occur. If you pay proper attention to it, you will surely prevent some topics from taking you by surprise.

Your dog also perceives your moods

But, beyond anticipating some issues, our dear four-legged friends have earned a good reputation for detecting our moods.

And they know us by heart because, once again, they have a lot of time to observe us. That is why they know exactly if we are happy, scared or distressed about something.

In addition, they know how to accurately interpret our body language. So they can easily see how we feel. And it is not news that a dog wants to comfort his 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 so. When we are frightened, our body secretes pheromones that the animal can easily smell.

Pay attention to your pet

Unless the dog is specifically trained to warn about some situations, it is not that he is going to detail with hairs and signals what is about to happen or the issues that he perceives and you have not yet noticed (pregnancy, illness, etc.).

Depending on the case, you will notice changes in their behavior that, once the event occurs, you can associate them with their previous attitude.

So pay close attention to your pet and you will avoid some issues taking you by surprise.
