In conclusion, this study shows that the risk of cranial cruciate ligament disease in dogs is linked to how long they are exposed to natural s*x hormones, and the relationship isn’t simple or linear. The highest risk was seen when females were spayed before about 1054 days (just under 3 years) and males before about 805 days (a little over 2 years). These results may help define what counts as “early” spay or neuter when it comes to cranial cruciate ligament disease risk.

Veterinary reproduction specialists now recommend hormone-preserving sterilization: preventing unwanted litters & less risk of torn cruciates.

ℹ️🔎👉¿Has visto este surco en la nariz de tu perro o gato? Aunque parezca una característica simple y sin mucha importancia, en realidad es fundamental.

✅️Se le conoce como sulcus philtrum o filtrum y se trata de una pequeña hendidura o línea vertical que se encuentra en la parte superior de la nariz, justo en el centro, y que baja hacia el labio superior del animal. Su importante función es ayudar a dirigir la humedad de la nariz hacia el órgano vomeronasal, que los animales usan para analizar olores y feromonas. Al mantener la nariz húmeda, mejora la capacidad olfativa, porque las partículas de olor se disuelven mejor.

¡Fascinante! 🤯

The President of Ireland is famous not just for his speeches or his warm smile, but also for never being without his dog. Michael D. Higgins is often seen with his beloved St. Bernard–Bernese Mountain Dog mix, Bród, whose name means “pride” in Irish.

Bród isn’t just a pet... he’s part of the president’s public life. Whether it’s greeting visitors at the official residence, walking beside him during ceremonies, or stealing the spotlight at state events, Bród is always there, tail wagging and ready to charm.

Over the years, Bród has become a symbol of warmth and friendliness, often walking right up to guests and demanding a pat before any formal handshake. Children adore him, dignitaries can’t resist him, and some even joke that Bród receives more hugs and photos than most world leaders.

In a world of stiff politics and serious meetings, he’s a reminder that a little bit of kindness and a furry friend can melt even the toughest faces.

ADOPTION COSTS WAIVED ❤️

Recently, we shared Rocky’s story—the gentle soul who’s spent more than 500 days in care.

We had hoped his story would have ended differently by now. That someone would see past the stereotypes and into the quiet, loyal companion he is. But sadly, Rocky is still here 😢

He loves everyone he meets and is just as loved in return. Spending most days, receiving pats by those passing by, inviting himself into any free lap and warming himself (upside-down) in the afternoon sun 😌

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have even offered to completely cover his adoption fee.

All he needs now is a home 🙏

Help us share his story. Come and visit him. Give him the chance he deserves.

500 days is far too long to wait. And this special boy has waited enough ❤️
