Too true! Here are THREE ways we are just so like our beloved doggies

It’s no secret that there comes a time when we start noticing similarities between ourselves and our pooches.

Whether it’s facial expressions, personality traits or our desire to have our tummies tickled, us humans and our animals end up having A LOT in common, but these similarities actually start earlier than you might think.

Like all of us, each and every dog has their own unique personality and like all of us, they need certain stimuli in order to be the best they can be.

We caught up with Kelly Donegan and her adorable pooch, Tyson, who filled us in on Pedigree Ireland’s 'Feed Their Big Personality' campaign and revealed why we’re more like our doggies than we think.

Getting our sweat on

We all feel much better when we get our sweat on on a regular basis, and it’s absolutely no different for our dogs.

Exercise helps to elevate your dog’s mood and keeps them feeling well-balanced and ready to take on anything – just like us!

Although we wish someone spelling out G-Y-M to us would have the same effect as us spelling out W-A-L-K to them. Sigh.

Getting our eats on

A weekend getting our munch on means a guilt-ridden and sluggish Monday – something our pets are not immune to.

Ensuring that your dog gets all the nutrients their body requires by researching their breed is absolutely vital if you want to see your dog at their very best.

From a strong immune system to easier digestion, keeping your dog on the nutritional straight and narrow is as important as keeping yourself on it.

Getting our cry on

Like people, dogs endure ups and downs with their moods, but as its owner it’s up to you to learn about their traits so you can properly assess their needs.

Our friends and other halves know the difference between our need for chocolate and our need for a cry, and our dogs expect that of us too.

As Kelly reminded us: “There’s no such thing as a bad dog, just a bad owner” so as it’s momma you need to be able to identify its needs when its mood starts to take a turn.
