Gemini Dog (May 21 – June 20): One for the Road

A Gemini dog is an excellent companion for owners who enjoy a lot of outdoor activity. Ruled by Mercury, these pups are intelligent and excitable; they require a big yard to race around in or long walks to burn off nervous energy. They also have a very low boredom point and need constant changes of scenery, toys, activities and food types. The more exotic the better – they are food adventurists.

Road Dogs

These explorers like nothing better than going on vacation and are remarkably good travelers. Gemini dogs are in a state of bliss riding in the car, nose pressed to the window crack enjoying new smells. These are some of the most charming and friendliest dogs of the zodiac and are always a hit at the dog park. Besides getting along with other canines they tend to have a strange fondness for the household cat. While they don't like to be alone, they are rarely a one-person dog and therefore make a good family pet.

Curious Canines

Relentlessly curious Gemini dogs are always sticking their highly developed noses into everything. They make particularly good tracking dogs, more so because Gemini dogs are such quick learners, willing to follow human commands, unlike some of their canine brethren. They thrive with Gemini or Libra owners because they share that noncommittal, always-on-the-move sensibility. They can also get along with an Aquarian pet parent, but these natives might just be too inconsistent to their liking.

Most Desirable Qualities:

Friendly
Not possessive
Quick learner

Least Desirable Qualities:

Needs lots of activity

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.
