Human and Dog Anatomy are, unsurprisingly, quite different… although there are similarities. In the third of our summer infographic series we give a fun, light-hearted look at the inner workings of our canine friends! This graphic follows on from out ever-popular dog world records and dog training information infographics.
As a dog lover, the anatomy of our canine counterparts is something that I found hugely interesting, so putting this infographic together was a huge amount of fun. There’s a vast difference of opinion and accuracy on a number of facts that have been included so our research took a relatively long time. Involving everything from Wikipedia to numerous encyclopedias (and thankfully no dissections) we’ve come up with a list of facts that are as fascinating as they are true.
One of my favourite, and most surprising, is that a canine skeleton has a total of 320 bones while humans only have 206. Given that, to most of us, dogs are so much smaller, you’d almost expect the opposite to be true. We do, however, win on taste buds with a massive 10,000 dotted around our mouths as opposed to dogs which have a meager 1700.
So, enjoy the graphic, and if you have time feel free to take a look at my personal blog which talks about my time offering Web Design and SEO in Milton Keynes.
We hope you enjoy the dog anatomy post and, if so, don’t forget to browse through our collection of stunning dog coats, waterproof dog collars and comfortable dog beds.
Nice comparisons!
Thanks Matt, Some very interesting facts and beautifully presented!
Another great job, Matt!

This is great stuff, just what I was looking for to create a presentation in our area for elementary students. May I borrow this or buy this to use?
Thanks, you have just saved me a ton of time!
Hi Nancy,
You’re more than welcome to use this – we’d appreciate a ‘thank you’ in the form of a link back to Pet365 but it’s by no means a requirement
Matt
You bet! We will absolutely add a link back to your site. This is really helpful for a project we are starting in September with a local school to show there really isn’t much difference between humans and animals, with the focus on compassion. And we want these kids to create pictures of compassion to be used for future t-shirts. Thanks for the ok Matt.
