Dogs can help their owners live longer.
Not only do dog owners tend to live longer than people without dogs, dog owners are also more likely to survive and recover from major health events, such as heart attack or stroke. Why?

"Interacting with dogs can boost your production of 'happy hormones' such as oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine," says the American Heart Association. "This can lead to a greater sense of well-being and help lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol. And having a dog can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, ease depression and improve fitness."

Smaller dogs live longer.
Smaller dogs tend to live longer than bigger dogs, and that's because larger dogs age faster. Within one study, large dogs were found to have a median lifespan of 13.38 years, while the median for small dogs was 14.95.

Storms can actually hurt dogs.
The sound frequencies produced during storms can actually be painful to your dogs' ears. Also, the static electricity that accumulates in their fur due to change of pressure can be unpleasant. So when dogs are freaking out during storms, they're not just unsure of what's happening they may be experiencing a painful physical reaction.

Dogs can smell your feelings.
Dogs use their sense of smell to work out how humans are feeling. Studies show that they can detect feelings of stress and fear and happier emotions. But there's no evidence to suggest that dogs act more aggressively when near a fearful human, they tend to mirror that emotion.

Dogs don't like hugs.
Animal psychologists say dogs can be stressed and unhappy when they are hugged, because they see having a limb thrown over them as a sign of dominance. They'll convey that stress by licking their lips, looking away, or folding their ears. So go for a belly rub over an embrace whenever you want to show your pet some love.

Dogs are not totally colorblind.
Dogs cannot see the same colors that we do, but they are not colorblind. They have two color receptors, while humans have three. If you were to see the world through your dog's eyes, you'd see everything in shades and combinations of blue and yellow.

Whiskers help dogs see in the dark.
ogs' whiskers are packed with nerves and send sensory messages to their brains. They're multifunctional sensory tools that help them move around and orient themselves in tight places, especially when visibility is low.

Dogs do not feel guilt.
Your dog averts his eyes and adopts a submissive posture after you catch him chewing something he's not supposed to. That means he knows that he's done something wrong and is sorry for it, right? Well, probably not, scientists say. It's more likely that the behaviors that owners associate with a dog's guilt are their reaction to being scolded. They simply don't think as deeply about their transgression as you do.

Cats have powerful night vision, allowing them to see at light levels six times lower than what a human needs in order to see.

Dogs dream.
Not only do dogs dream as they sleep, scientists think that they dream similarly to us and replay moments from their day. You can tell that a dog is dreaming if they are twitching their legs or bark in their sleep. Additionally, small dogs have more dreams than big dogs.

Dogs are more aggressive when being walked by a man.
The presence of a leash, the s*x of the owner, and the s*x of the dog all play a part in the aggressiveness of a dog when they're being walked. Dogs being walked by men are four times more likely to attack and bite another dog. Why? Because dogs not only react to the behavior and posture of other dogs around them but also to people.

Cats can be lethal hunters and very sneaky, when they walk their back paws step almost exactly in the same place as the front paws did beforehand, this keeps noise to a minimum and limits visible tracks.

The heaviest domestic cat on record is 21.297 kilograms (46 lb 15.2 oz).
He is hungry.

Dogs mark their territory with glands in their paws.
Dogs are not, in fact, trying to clumsily bury their p**p when they scratch the ground after they go. They are just performing yet another territory-marking ritual. With the glands on their paws, they spread their scent and let other dogs know they are around.

26/01/2023

Domestic cats usually weigh around 4 kilograms (8 lb 13 oz) to 5 kilograms (11 lb 0 oz).

Small dogs can hear sounds in higher ranges than big dogs.
In addition to being able to move in various ways, dogs' ears are also able to detect much higher frequency sounds than human ears. In fact, dogs can hear sounds that are two times beyond our range and it appears small dogs are actually better at it.

Dogs may be able to fall in love with you.
Thanks to science, you can know, for a fact, that your dog loves you back. A 2015 study at Azabu University in Japan found an uptick in the level of oxytocin (sometimes known as "the love hormone") in both dogs and their owners when they stare at each other.

A dog's nose is its fingerprint.
Dog noses have unique patterns that can serve to identify them, similar to human fingerprints.

Goldfish have two sets of paired fins and three sets of single fins. They don't have barbels, sensory organs some fish have that act like taste buds. Nor do they have scales on their heads. They also don't have teeth and instead crush their food in their throats.

Dogs are about as intelligent as a two-year-old.
Studies have shown that dogs can learn over 100 words and gestures, which puts their intelligence and understanding of us on a par with a two year old. However, dogs are much easier to train than a two year old! They’re used for all sorts of jobs, from military roles to assistance dogs, because they’re both clever and extremely loyal animals. To start training your pup the basics, take a look at some top tips from our qualified behaviourist.

Dogs have 18 muscles controlling their ears.
If you have a dog, you might notice that their ears move around a lot. They actually have around 18 muscles responsible for moving their ears. These help them to change the direction of their ears slightly to hear noises around them better, and play a really big part in telling us how our dogs are feeling. A lot of a dog’s body language is expressed through what their ears are doing so a dog’s ears are vital in helping them communicate both with us and other dogs. Read more about canine body language.

Along with their noses, their hearing is super sensitive.
We all know dogs can hear much higher frequencies than us, but did you know they can also hear further? Generally, dogs can hear much softer sounds than we can, so they can hear things that are much further away.

Cats have flexible bodies and teeth adapted for hunting small animals such as mice and rats.🐈‍⬛

Your dog could be left or right-pawed.
There have been a few studies around this and it turns out that just like us, dogs have a preferred hand (well, paw) to lead with. You can find out whether your dog is left or right-pawed by giving them their favourite toy or interactive game and seeing which paw they use to help them first.

Dogs don’t sweat like we do.
While dogs do sweat, don’t expect them to be getting damp armpits any time soon. Where humans sweat watery liquid to cool down, dogs produce a pheromone laden oily substance that us humans can’t detect (dogs know it’s there because of that great sense of smell). The only place that dogs sweat like us is on their paws, so instead they pant to cool down. This is why it’s so important to keep your dog cool on those warmer days to make it easier on them.

Cats conserve energy by sleeping for an average of 13 to 14 hours a day.
Almost like me.

Some dogs are fast and could even beat a cheetah!
Most dogs could easily outrun a human – they’re built to run and chase! The fastest breed of dog by far, though, is the Greyhound. These speedy sight hounds can reach a top speed of 45mph within seconds of starting to run

‘But how does this beat a cheetah?’ we hear you ask. Well, while a cheetah can get up to almost 70mph, they can only keep this going for around 30 seconds. Greyhounds, on the other hand, could easily run at speeds in excess of 35mph for seven miles. So despite the cheetah’s head start, they’d soon overtake!

Cats and humans have been associated for nearly 10000 years.
That's a long time.😸

Some dogs are incredible swimmers.
Newfoundlands are so good in the water that for years they’ve been used as water rescue dogs. In 2016, a brave Newfoundland called Whizz was awarded the PDSA Order of Merit for saving nine people from the sea over his career as a water rescue dog.
