Cancer Dog Horoscope (June 22 – July 22): Home is Where the Bark is

Cancer is the sign of the crab, and dogs born under this Zodiac sign are only "crabby" when faced with new situations, places or people, or are forced to be separated from their homes. Cancer dogs are notoriously similar to Taurus pups in that they are both home bodies. With their deep need for security and strong attachment to their humans, they can feel a little lost if they have to be boarded when their family goes away on trips. If you have family members willing to take your Cancer dog instead of boarding, that will put your sensitive pup at ease. They are at their best when they are reassured that they are very handsome, smart and well-loved by their dog parents, and will give back tenfold when they feel loved.

CANCER DOG PERSONALITY: THE SENSITIVE TYPES

Ruled by the moon, these dogs are sensitive, nurturing, and intuitive. You almost feel like your Cancer dog can read your thoughts – and you'd be right! Attuned to human emotions and suffering, these dogs are good canine healers, either as guide dogs, care dogs for the elderly, or as medical scent-detection dogs. Because they are so attentive to their caretakers, most Cancer pups enjoy activities that cater to their owners. When playing with or entertaining your dog, be sure to reward them with lots and lots of praise, as that makes any game worth it to them. We suggest a good ole fashioned game of hide and seek. It’s both very stimulating and provides a whole lot of fun for your pooch!

Cancer Dogs are Chowhounds

Cancer rules the stomach, and these doggies are often controlled by their appetites – both emotional and nutritional. Much like their human counterparts, they will overeat according to their mood and tend to gain weight. Give them a little extra love and attention if you see them spending too much time in the kitchen.

Because we know that every dog deserves a little treat every now and again, we recommend reaching for the Milk-Bone® Original Mini Biscuits. These treats, although tiny, are packed with big flavor. Plus, due to their small size, these biscuits are only 5 calories each. So even if your Cancer pup decides to overindulge, there’s still going to be room for a treat (or two!).

Unconditional love from Cancer pups

A Cancer pooch is the most forgiving of pets. Even if you've been held up at work and feed him a little later than usual, he won't hold it against you. Sure, he'll feel a little neglected, but will pad right back to you and look soulfully into your eyes, wondering how he can help you. If you need to return that sense of unconditional love, try gifting your Cancer dog with a self-rolling ball. This is a toy that’s great to play indoors (a Cancer dog’s favorite space of all) and makes them feel like the highest priority. Other activities that Cancer dogs enjoy are long-lasting chews. Another great indoor play option that doubles as a fun treat! If you need a suggestion for long-lasting dog chews, check out all of the options offered by Milk-Bone®.

WHAT TO DO NEXT WITH YOUR DOG HOROSCOPE

Now you know which dog zodiac sign aligns with your canine companion. That means you can use your new astrological knowledge for some serious bonding! For example, if you have an Aries dog in your household, you can appeal to their energetic spirit by getting them out of the house more often – take them on challenging hikes or let them roughhouse at the dog park. Or, if you have a food-loving Cancer or Taurus dog, you can mix up their treat flavors and textures to make their tummies happy (just keep treating under 10% of their daily caloric intake to ensure they don’t get too thick around the middle).

But who are we kidding – no matter your dog’s sign, they all deserve tasty treats! And they all love eating them, too. You don’t need to chart the stars to figure that one out! Check out all the awesome treats the Milk-Bone® brand has to offer.
