True or False?

Dogs can only hear sounds that humans can hear.

Some dogs eat anything. Others? They serve serious side-eye at the dinner bowl. If you’ve got a pup who’s bored with the same old thing, food toppers are a good way to help even the pickiest pups finish their meals.

Toppers are exactly what they sound like: a little something extra to add on top of your dog’s food. They come in all kinds, such as wet toppers, freeze-dried bits, or powdered seasonings, and add flavor, texture, or even hydration to mealtime.

Freeze-dried toppers are often high-quality, limited, or single-ingredient meats, and are a great complement to a raw diet. Wet toppers like gravies or broths add moisture, which is especially helpful for dogs who don’t drink much water. And lastly, powdered toppers are a fan-favorite because they‘re easier for dogs to consume and less hassle for their humans (plus, most come in shakeable containers).

For pet parents who want to provide a more balanced diet for their pet without a total overhaul, toppers are a convenient way to do so. And, if you’ve ever watched your dog leave kibble untouched but lick a bowl clean after adding some toppers—well, you know it’s worth it.

When it comes to food toppers, our go-to is Crumps’ Naturals. They have a range of single ingredient freeze dried options as well as convenient powder toppers called “Sprinkles”. These make it easy to boost nutrition and keep mealtime exciting for your canine best friend.

Choose from traditional flavors like Chicken or Beef, or try something functional like Gut Health, Fish + Superfood Greens, or their new Turkey + Superfood Golds launching this May. Everything’s made in their own family-owned facility, so you know the best ingredients are used and the highest quality standards are maintained.

Ever wondered how one dog can manage a flock of over 100 sheep? Scientists recently cracked the code, revealing that it all comes down to two surprisingly simple rules.

The first rule: Sheepdogs bring sheep together. The second: Once the flock is tightly bunched, they nudge them forward. This pattern is based on the "selfish herd theory," where sheep instinctively gather for safety, allowing the dog to easily manage them.

Researchers used GPS trackers on sheep and dogs to observe this behavior up close. It turns out, sheepdogs use this herd instinct to their advantage, guiding the flock by filling in the gaps between them. The math behind it is surprisingly straightforward but remarkably effective.

This research not only sheds light on sheepdog behavior but could also inspire new technology, like robots for crowd control or even cleaning up oil spills. While some shepherds may already know these tricks, it’s fascinating to see how math and instinct work together in the world of herding.
