The answer to Sunday's quiz is...D, Hearing! 👂👂
Unlike their eyes, which are born functional but not fully developed, puppies are born deaf, and cannot hear until around 3 weeks of age. During these initial 2 to 3 weeks, a puppy must navigate the world using scent. Once their hearing kicks in, puppies hear about four times better than most people, including hearing a much wider range of frequencies.
Sunday's pet trivia question answer is: a typical cat tail contains between 18 and 23 caudal vertebrae that gradually decrease in size from the base to the tip. And because the average cat has a total of 230 bones, this means roughly 10% of your kitty's bones are found in their tail!

Pet Trivia Question - Answer #1
THE ANSWER TO SUNDAY'S QUIZ QUESTION IS....Instead of sweat dripping down their face or underneath their limbs—common in overheated humans—most dog sweat is released through glands in the paw pads. And, unlike humans, sweating is not an effective way for dogs to cool themselves. Dogs cool themselves via panting and vasodilation. When a dog is panting, they are rapidly inhaling, humidifying, and exhaling air. This movement causes moisture in the airways to evaporate, which leads to a cooling effect. Another way dogs cool off is via vasodilation (expansion of blood vessels). When the vessels dilate, warm blood is moved closer to the body’s surface, where it can be cooled. The most effective areas for vasodilation are the face and ears—this is why a dog’s ears and chin may be red when they’re hot.

We are super excited to announce that we raised close to $2,000 for the Shontale Holloway Foundation of Hope. Shontale Holloway was an RAH employee for over 10 years. She had a strong love for all the patients and their owners, and one of her true passions was helping those that couldn’t afford veterinary services. With the work done through her foundation, Shontale’s legacy lives on through each patient and pet owner who is helped.
