10 Most Popular Dog Breeds For 2022, According To Trupanion

We call them "man's best friend" for a reason. They truly are! I'd be lost without my pup, and so would the millions of additional dog owners out there. They're part of the family, and they never fail to make us smile when we need it most.

While all dog owners can agree that their furry friends play an crucial role in their homes and their happiness, we also know that we all have preferences when it comes to our different breeds. Every breed has its own special set of characteristics that make them unique. Personality traits that one person may love might not be another person's cup of tea. Some like bigger dogs, and some prefer for their pup to fit in the palm of their hand. And that's totally fine! Everyone is different, and so is every individual breed and dog. That's why it's great that there are hundreds of different dog breeds. There's a doggo out there for everyone!

We officially have the list of the most popular dog breeds for this year based on the results of a survey by Trupanion. I'll be honest... a couple might surprise you. I'm shocked to see that a few breeds I would personally deem some of the very most common did not crack the top 10. I'm just as shocked that a couple others 'marked their territory' at the top of the list. (Get it?)

If you are looking into breeds and contemplating getting a dog this year, consider researching these popular breeds. After all, they are the top 10 most popular this year for a reason. People love them!

We love a hypoallergenic breed!

Las Vegas is full of expensive break-the-bank restaurants, mom and pop shops and small local eateries. Being a pet owner, the question that always comes up is, "Can I bring my dog?" Finding a restaurant that not only seats people but our furry companions can be troublesome. Vegas, Henderson and the other surrounding cities are very pet friendly with dog oriented parks and pet businesses catered just for dog owners.

As cliche as it sounds, "Dog is man's best friend" first said by Frederick, King of Prussia, is actually true. Pets can't speak human but they know what we are saying when we communicate to them. They are an essential part of the family as if they were a brother, sister, cousin or uncle. For a lot of us, our pets are the first thing we see in the morning and the first ones to welcome us home from a long day of work.

We take care of our dogs as if they were a baby. We feed them, wash them, take them for a "w-a-l-k", cuddle them and make sure they are up to date on all of their shots. It's our responsibility as a dog owner to provide the best life that we can give to our pets. After all, pets give us something that is so valuable it's priceless. What is it you ask? Their unconditional love.

We scoured the internet looking for dog friendly restaurants and cafes that welcome our furry four-legged friends with open arms. We can report back knowing that we have found nine locations with great staff and great plate options. The best part is that most to all of them have outdoor seating or an open patio. Bring your doggo's water bowl as many of the restaurants will fill it with water. We hope you and your dog enjoy the best lunch ever.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love hot dogs. I can’t get enough of the classic American food. However, Las Vegas gives a whole new meaning to the name during the summertime.

If you have been in Las Vegas for more than 30 seconds during the summer months, you are all too familiar with the extreme desert heat. The heat can be uncomfortable or even dangerous for us. Potential side effects include high temperature, muscle spasms, headache, dizziness, nausea, and other heat-related illnesses. Thankfully, we know the importance of limiting our time outside right now. Taking the proper precautions when we know we will be in the heat for long periods of time is crucial.

If you have an adorable, four-legged friend like I do, it’s not only yourself you have to worry about. With a heat advisory currently in place and consistent temperatures over 100 degrees, a long trip to the dog park might be fatal. This means us pet owners might have to get creative to keep our pups entertained.

"But Sammi, how am I supposed to keep my dog active and entertained if I don’t want to risk their health?" I'm glad you asked. I have found a bunch of ways to have fun in the summer without putting my heat-sensitive french bulldog, Butch, at risk. Butch is an active little guy, but these high temperatures are hard on his stuffy little body. Don’t forget that the individual needs of your furry friend may vary based on their breed or personal traits. Fortunately, these ideas should generally work for all dogs and allow for subtle adjustments to be made if needed. These are loved by dogs of all kinds.

Here are five ideas to help your dog beat the Las Vegas heat this summer:

Buy your dog some pet friendly frozen treats or make them a cold, delicious snack at home.

Just like humans, staying hydrated is essential for dogs in the heat! Provide water for your dog at all times, especially when spending any time outside.

Take your dog to a shallow lake or spring, head to a pet-friendly pool, or even buy a kiddie pool for them to splash in!

I know what you’re thinking, but hear me out. Tell your dog to stay, run and hide, then have them come find you!

Every dog loves having another way to earn treats!
