Many times we have only heard of the role of the cat's beard, but few people understand the meaning of the dog's beard. What is the use of a dog's whiskers? Let's take a look.

A dog's beard is a unique sensory organ, also known as

Whiskers, these tentacles can help dogs perceive objects and environments around them.

Whiskers will grow around your dog's eyes and chin, most notably those around the mouth.

And the hair follicles in the dog's whiskers are different from other hair follicles. The hair follicles of the beard have many sensory cells that can help dogs receive tactile information. In addition to gathering information, there is also the role of maintaining balance.

Dog whiskers are sensitive and sensory, but they can also be trimmed. Shortening is more for aesthetics and hygiene, of course, it is no problem not to cut.

In fact, now the dog's whiskers are more of a decorative effect, but they still maintain their sensitive characteristics. If the dog's whiskers are forcibly pulled, they will also feel pain.

Under normal circumstances, the color of the dog's whiskers is black, white and brown, which is consistent with the color of the fur. There is another possibility for the discoloration of the dog's beard, that is, the dog with black or brown beard, because of the increase of age, the beard will gradually turn white.

A dog's whiskers can sense objects because of the hair follicles in the whiskers, which, like hair, naturally shed and then grow back.
