Why Dogs Follow You to the Bathroom

Ever wondered why your dog insists on following you everywhere—even into the bathroom? It’s not just about loving your company; there’s a deeper reason behind this behavior. As pack animals, dogs feel safest when they’re close to their humans. Their natural curiosity also drives them to stay in the loop, even during your most private moments. And if you’ve ever given them attention for tagging along, you may have unknowingly reinforced the habit!

Why Dogs Can’t Have Chocolate

Sharing sweets is a common way humans show love, but when it comes to our dogs, chocolate is strictly off-limits—even if they beg for a bite. The culprit is a chemical called theobromine, which humans can easily process but is toxic to dogs. In small doses, it may cause an upset stomach, but in larger amounts, it can be life-threatening. The darker the chocolate, the more dangerous it is, and smaller dogs are especially vulnerable. So if your Shih Tzu manages to sneak a box of bonbons, don’t wait—get them to the vet immediately!
