Las razas de perros más afectadas por la pólvora: padecen mayor estrés
Cada fin de año, las celebraciones con fuegos artificiales, petardos y explosiones representan un momento de alegría para muchas personas, pero también una fuente de estrés intenso para los perros. El oído de los canes es mucho más sensible que el humano, y los ruidos fuertes pueden desencadenar miedo, taquicardia, temblores e incluso conductas de huida o agresividad en algunas razas.
