Turn the Bag Around

Most dog food marketing lives on the front of the bag. Sundays wants you to read the back. Sundays was founded by Dr. Tory, a veterinarian who wanted something better for her own dog, Mabel. Every recipe is made with over 80% real meat and nutrient-rich extracts of fruits, vegetables, seeds, and grains — complete and balanced nutrition for every life stage. If an ingredient sounds like it came from a chemistry lab, it’s not in the bag.  I Love Every Dog readers might be surprised by what’s (and isn’t) inside — see the label for yourself and get 30% off your first order with Sundays For Dogs.

Why Dogs Can’t Resist Chasing Flying Bugs

Whether it’s a housefly buzzing around the patio or a moth near a lamp, dogs are inexplicably drawn to snapping at bugs mid-flight. While it looks hilarious and endearing, there are actually a few fascinating reasons why our canine companions turn into amateur exterminators.

The High-Velocity Instinct

Long before dogs had cozy orthopedic beds and gourmet kibble, their ancestors survived on instinct. A flying bug triggers a dog’s prey drive—the innate urge to track, chase, and capture small, fast-moving objects. To a dog’s brain, a fly darting in erratic patterns isn't an annoyance; it’s a tiny, high-speed target calling out to their internal hunter.

An Interactive Game of Tag

For a domesticated pup, life can get a little routine. Enter the housefly: unpredictable, loud, and constantly moving. Snapping at insects offers instant mental stimulation and sensory play. The high-pitched hum of wings and the sudden visual flashes give your dog a burst of excitement, turning an idle afternoon into an impromptu workout.

When "Sky Raisins" Become Risky

While watching a dog snap at harmless flies is lighthearted fun, not all bugs make great snacks:

• Stinging Insects: Bees, wasps, and hornets can sting inside a dog’s mouth or throat, causing rapid swelling that requires immediate veterinary care.
• Toxic or Irritating Bugs: Certain beetles, stink bugs, and caterpillars carry foul tastes or mild toxins that can cause drooling or upset stomachs.
• Parasites: Flies and mosquitoes can carry larvae or pathogens, making frequent bug-munching a habit worth monitoring.

A Quick Tip for Dog Parents: If your pup loves chasing bugs, keep a squirt bottle of water or a favorite squeaky toy nearby. Redirecting their attention away from buzzing bees keeps the fun safe while satisfying that natural urge to play!
