“If you wash a dog when it’s cold the fur on his back will freeze and break!”, “Feed a dog anything sweet, even once, and he’ll become a diabetic!” And our favorite: “I was told if you feed a dog ice cream and he gets “brain freeze” he’ll be crazy for the rest of his life.”
There may be a grain of truth in all of the above but there are also some statements out there that make a lot more sense – but are actually are not true at all!

On the next page, we have five great “truths” that are absolutely NOT true. You may be stunned by some of these. We were!
