Do Greyhounds Really Smile?

Many dogs make faces that look like smiles, but Greyhounds take it to another level. Not only are they the fastest dogs, but they can also produce the biggest smiles.

A happy Greyhound will smile with most of their teeth showing and it’s believed to be a genuine show of how they're feeling. You might catch a glimpse after they play or when they are feeling relaxed. If you’re ready for a smile, follow @blueluna.iggy on Instagram!

Improve Your Dog's Mental Health

Mental health is critical for people, but our animals can also have mental health challenges. As a pet owner, there are a few things that you can do to help improve your dog’s current mental health. Follow these tips and watch your dog relax and feel the love.

  • Give your dog space. Dogs like to have some alone time to relax. It’s good to find the balance between cuddles, exercise, and space for them. Let them retreat for a bit.

  • Provide mental enrichment. Dogs’ brains need a workout, too. Give them puzzles or special toys that require exploration.

  • Try massage and body awareness. Check an online tutorial and give your pup a special massage. They will love this a little more than the standard ear scratches.

  • Feed them healthy foods. Nutritious diets have a positive impact on dog’s mental health. Limit their access to treats and human foods.

  • Provide daily exercise. Practice training sessions or take your dog for a walk every day. They should be able to get out of the house at least once with you for some movement and stimulation.

This New Toilet Paper Just Might Save the Planet

Every 24 hours, 27,000 trees are cut down to make toilet paper. To us, that feels like way too many — and Honeycomb agrees. That’s why this small, female-founded brand created luxury, three-ply toilet tissue made from bamboo. It feels just like regular high-end toilet paper, but doesn’t harm trees.

So why bamboo? It’s the fastest-growing plant in the world — growing 100 times faster than the average tree — which means thousands of rolls can be produced in the time it takes for a single tree to grow back.

Even better? Code DIG30 will give new customers 30% off their first order for the nexts 24 hours.

Thank you to Honeycomb for sponsoring the Daily Dig.

Watch These Puppies Respond to a Lullaby

This TikTok user, @thejhartley, uses a popular lullaby to help calm down the litter of pups. He softly sings them "You Are My Sunshine" and you can instantly see its calming effects on the little dogs. Plus, who doesn’t want more puppy content on their screens?
