🩺 You've asked, we've responded! Here is our latest top pet-related question:

Q: I've noticed my dog munching on grass during our walks. Should I be worried?

A: It's pretty common for dogs to eat grass, and most of the time, it's nothing to worry about. Dogs might eat grass out of boredom, for digestive relief, or simply because they like the taste! However, if your dog is eating grass excessively or shows signs of stomach upset, it’s a good idea to consult with us to rule out any underlying issues.

🐱 Fun Cat Fact! 🐾

Did you know that cats have a special way of communicating with their humans? Unlike dogs, who use barking to express themselves, cats primarily use purring as a way to show contentment and affection. But here’s the interesting part: cats also purr to soothe themselves when they're in pain or stressed. It’s their way of self-soothing and healing!

So next time your cat purrs, whether they're curled up on your lap or exploring their favorite spot, know that it's their way of saying, “I’m happy and comfortable with you.”
