Why Do Dogs Bury Bones? For some animals, this is a kind of preservation of available food supplies so that they can be obtained and used at the right time. This is common behavior for many kinds of birds and mammals, including the ancestors of dogs – gray wolves, from which dogs inherited many of their instincts. There may be several reasons why do dogs bury bones.

Why Do Dogs Bury Bones?

Instinct

Wolves, which are known to be very good hunters, tend to stay close to their prey long enough to completely consume it, but sometimes they bury the remains of a killed animal. research has shown that even wolf cubs use this tactic and can move their prey several times to prevent a brother or sister from reaching it. Therefore, when dogs behave in this, at first glance, unusual, be calm – they are just following their “inner wolf”.

Today, most of dogs do not need to bury their food, after all they have loving owners who feed them. Still, why do dogs bury bones? However, this does not mean that their aspiration to save food for the future has suddenly disappeared.

Sometimes this instinct has nothing to do with food preservation or protection it from scavengers. In addition, dogs can save toys, for example, so that they can be played again later. In addition, dogs can so calm down or play with the owner.

Dog breed

Meanwhile, some breeds of dogs, more precisely, hunting dogs, are simply more prone to digging in the ground – it does not matter if it buries a bone or just creates a burrow. Dogs specially bred for hunting, such as terriers, dachshunds, beagles, basset hounds and schnauzers, often like to bury toys, bones and treats. It is not uncommon to see a dachshund hiding a bone under sofa cushions. Since these breeds are bred specifically for digging, they may also have an increased desire to conserve their resources, what can explain why do dogs bury bones. This is normal behavior for them. Remember that all dogs can dig regardless of the dog breed.

Boredom

Dogs need daily walks and play, to help the dogs get rid of excess energy. If the dog’s needs are not being met, they will find their own ways to keep themselves occupied. An example would be the fun game of stealing the TV remote control and burying it in order to get your attention and make changes to thier monochromatic daily routine.

Anxiety

Stress and anxiety can also influence this behavior. Some dogs who are anxious may bury objects to calm down, as digging is a calming behavior. If the dog does not feel safe now or in the place where it is being fed, it can bury the food in order to eat in a more convenient place or at a more convenient time. You may also see more of this behavior in families with multiple dogs, or among dogs raised in a kennel or shelter, where the dog may feel a lack of food.

This behavior can improve if your dog feels safe and feeds on a regular schedule, but if not, it is advisable to consult a veterinarian and behavior specialists.

Why is buring bones a bad habit?

 

Burying food is an ancient instinct for dogs to survive in the wild. At home, it can be considered a bad habit. Well-fed pets forget about their reserves. The food spoils and can harm the animal’s gastrointestinal tract if the dog finds it.

Dogs burying food outside can contract infectious diseases or poison themselves. The soil is capable of supporting the vital activity of dangerous bacteria and viruses for a long time. It gets poisons, chemicals that pose a threat not only to the health, but also to the life of the dog.

The habit of burying food is observed in many domestic dogs. We must try to eradicate it in order to avoid unnecessary problems. Punishing the pet in this case is useless. He will become afraid and more actively hide food. It is important to determine when to feed and make sure there is no food left over and the dog is not starving.

Final Word

Remember that in order to wean your dog from burying food, you need to walk it daily and provide the dog with interesting toys while you are not at home. Limit access to toys so your dog doesn’t lose interest in them.
