🐾Fun Fact Friday🐾

🐈Cats have better memories then dogs, but they remember differently than we do (or than we think they do). Cats have better overall memories than dogs (dogs short-term memory last only a few minutes while cats can last up to 16 hours) exceeding even that of monkeys and orangutans. – but they are also more selective regarding how they act on these memories.

February is "Beat the heat" month.🥵🐾🐕

Bringing our beloved pets to the vet to be spayed or castrated can be a difficult task for many pet owners. Some pet owners may view spaying or castrating as more harmful than beneficial for their furry companions, but the truth is that these procedures not only help our pets but the entire animal community as a whole. That is why February has been named Spay / Neuter Awareness Month.

Desexing can prevent many of the behavioral problems that occur in dogs and cats. These are problems that occur either directly as a result of the reproductive cycle, or because of “dominance” or “territorial” behavior, where your pet wants to demonstrate his/her dominance over other animals (and people!) around them. Desexed pets are often easier to train. These are some of the problems that can be prevented (or at least reduced) by desexing:

🔹Uterine cysts and pyometra (pus in the uterus) are very common problems in females. Cats can also be affected. These are serious (potentially fatal) illnesses that can be difficult to diagnose and require major surgery to fix. Desexing completely prevents them.
🔹Prostate problems and tumors around the a**s are common in male dogs. They are usually prevented by desexing.
🔹Cancer in the mammary glands (breasts) is the most common cancer in female dogs. It is often malignant, and often untreatable by the time it is noticed. This benefit is largely lost if you wait until the dog is 2 years of age or more.
🔹Mastitis of the mammary glands
🔹Tumors and cysts of the ovaries and testicles are not common but are serious problems when they do occur. These are completely prevented by desexing.
🔹Hormonal disturbances
🔹Infectious diseases: animals that have not been desexed are more likely to roam, fight and mate with other animals. Thus, they are more likely to come in contact with a variety of diseases including Feline AIDS. Cat fight abscesses are one of the most frequent problems we see in cats.

🐾Fun Fact Friday 🐾

Yes, guinea pigs can swim, but no, they don’t enjoy it. If they have no other option in their natural habitat, swimming will allow them to escape predators. They may also decide to get their paws wet if there is a food source nearby. But their desire to go in the water stops there.

🐾Fun Fact Friday🐾

Studies have shown that dogs can “catch” yawns from both humans and other dogs. This is called “contagious yawning,” and it’s believed to be a form of empathy, showing a social connection or bond with their human companions or other dogs. 🐕🐾
