Our furry friends do many things that make us think they are the cutest creatures on Earth. But there’s one nice thing they often do, and that’s make us pick up our phones and fill up our camera rolls so we can capture those moments forever. Today we understand why dogs make body movements that make them cuter than ever: splashing.
What is Sluton?

We’re used to dogs lying on their sides, so whenever we see something different, it piques our interest.
Splotting is a position in which a dog is completely flat on the floor with the hips and belly touching the ground and the hind legs stretched back. There are several variations of this silly pose, such as flat-legged and out to the side or one leg flat and out.
Now that we have that out of the way, let’s see why they do this.
#1 Get Zen
Just as people relax through yoga or morning exercise, dogs love to stretch their little muscles.
This adorable position helps the dog to align its spine and relieves tension or pressure on the back and hips. You may want to watch your puppy do this as this requires some flexibility. But don’t be surprised if bigger dogs strike this adorable pose, too.
#2 Calm down
Breathing may be the main way dogs regulate their body temperature. But this is not the only way. In addition to flaking and sweating, spraying is another way to cool off your dog. Lying on his belly in a cool area can help cool your dog’s entire body. Interestingly, you can avoid contact with hot surfaces by lying inside and elevating your legs. Their little paws sometimes can’t handle the hot asphalt or tiles, so they put their furry bellies down and put their paws on the air conditioner.
#3 A Natural Pose

Some dogs are simply designed for yoga-like poses. Short-legged breeds like Corgis, Basset Hounds, and Dachshunds have a natural hip mobility that they can achieve with little or no effort.
Just because there’s a perfect race to get the loot from, doesn’t mean they will. Every dog is unique and has favorite stretches or positions. The splash of water may not be the bowl of water.
Dysplasia #4
Certain joint problems can also cause rashes. Dysplasia, a deformity of the ball and hip joint, is one of them.
If you suspect that your dog has dysplasia, panting is not the only symptom. Your rabbit’s jumping, stiff gait and reluctance to play can also be symptoms. It is commonly found in large dog breeds. Treatment for this condition can be through medication, supplements, physical therapy, or surgery.
#5 Arthritis

If you’ve ever seen an older dog do this cute pose, they haven’t exactly discovered it. Instead, signs of arthritis may appear.
Arthritis is a health problem that can cause bones and joints to rub against each other due to tissue damage or loss of cartilage. This is more common in older dogs, so all pet parents should be cautious. If your dog has trouble getting out of bed, won’t go for walks or play, or is generally noisy, take your dog to the vet for a checkup. summarize…
Spotting may be a sign to take your dog to the vet, but it’s pure joy for our furry friends and for us. If your dog can sense your joy at seeing his little bean, he’ll do anything to show it just to see your smile one more time. So the next time you see your dog doing that adorable picture, share a moment of pure happiness with him and appreciate the little trick he’s doing for you
