Video: Dog tries to figure out ice maker (and gets a big surprise)
Hopefully your dog doesn't ever figure out the ice maker in your home or you could be in for a mess, too
Dog licks a chunk of ice off of a stick

Clever pups get themselves into the most trouble. They seem to know exactly what not to do — and then try it anyway (to the amusement and sometimes frustration of their owners). This little German shepherd in particular has his sights set on the ice maker. But it seems he might have stumbled into more than he bargained for.

The funny dog video starts off with a sweet shepherd named Maverick standing in front of the fridge while a voiceover narrates that he has been trying to figure out the ice maker for weeks. At first, he sits like a good boy, staring at the contraption and willing it to make ice for his midday snack. "But today he got a surprise," the video states, going on to explain that he knows how to push the lever (to make ice come out) but hasn't discovered how to hold on to it long enough.

A guide to great gut health: 5 benefits of probiotics for dogs you may not know about
Probiotics for dogs can have positive effects on the whole body: Here's what to know
Woman feeds her dog a treat on a walk

Cultured foods like yogurt are good for more than just your taste buds -- they can benefit your whole body. This is largely because of the probiotics they contain. In fact, probiotics (and prebiotics) are great for dogs, too! Your pup (like you) already has a gut microbiome to help with digestion, but you can give it a little boost with some supplements. Whether you add a probiotic to your dog's diet is something to discuss with your vet, but it's certainly worth considering.
What exactly are probiotics? And what about prebiotics?
Probiotics are bacteria and yeast that help you digest — that's why these are sometimes called "good bacteria." Prebiotics act as food for those microorganisms. You need both for your stomach to function and keep everything moving. While you have all these things naturally, it can't hurt to help your body along by introducing a little encouragement — and it's the same with Fido.

Should I add a probiotic to my dog's diet?
The good news is that your dog already has natural gut bacteria and they might be getting some extra help in their their fortified kibble as well. Just check the label to figure out what they already get in their diet. If your pup is having issues like loose stools, scooting, or anal gland problems, you might want to consider adding a supplement including probiotics for dogs. Talk to your vet first, however, to rule out more serious issues.

4 reasons why your dog might need a diaper (and which kind you should get)
When considering dog diapers, you need to think first about their purpose
Dog gets a green reusable diaper

Most dog owners luckily never need to reach for the diaper bag — we potty train our puppies and often enjoy the results for their whole lives. However, there are a few reasons why you might need to invest in dog diapers. Some of these are passing conditions, but as your pet ages, you may find that dog diapers become a part of your routine. It sounds a bit unpleasant, but with a little help, you can tackle it.
Why might my pet need them?
While most dogs will hopefully never have to wear any, they could wind up in doggie depends, temporarily or for life. Some pet parents use diapers when they know they won't be able to let their animal out to potty -- on a long plane ride for example. That's a good time for a one-off. Here are a few reasons you might need to stock your drawers with dog diapers.
They've gotten older
As pets age, sometimes incontinence sets in (and it could happen to you, too). This comes from the muscles of the bladder getting weaker and not performing as well, meaning a little bit of pee leaks through. It's much more common in female dogs, but can happen to any pooch.
She's in heat
Not totally unlike when a human has monthly bleeding, you might spot a bit of bloody discharge from a female dog in heat (fortunately, it doesn't happen as often, only a couple times per year). She also may urinate more frequently or even scent mark during this time.
He needs to be fixed
Before neutering, male dogs often mark, sometimes almost constantly, particularly if they can smell a female dog in heat nearby. If you're choosing not to neuter, you'll have to use a belly band a lot, though sometimes dogs can be trained out of this behavior with time and dedication.
They have a health condition
If your animal suddenly starts losing control of their wee, it's likely something simple, such as a urinary tract infection. Some long-term conditions like Cushing's disease, diabetes, and kidney problems could also be the issue. Work with your pet care team to ensure that a diaper won't interfere with topical medication or spread bacteria.

What kind of diaper should I get?
There are a few different kinds out there, depending on exactly what issue you're working on with your pet. Many male dogs, especially if they are really just scent marking, will require a
