Why Do Dogs Sleep So Much?
You might find yourself wondering… when dogs obviously have endless energy, why do they spend so much time asleep?!

Their sleeping habits are, in fact, similar to ours. The average dog sleeps for around 50% of the day (anywhere from 8-14 hours) and that increases as they get older. Larger and younger dogs usually sleep even more. It’s normal and it’s necessary: they’re active mammals and need to recharge during sleep.

Even on breezy 85℉ days we can see the temperatures of walking surfaces cause burns to unprotected paw pads.
Here's a quick and simple test: Place the back of your hand on the pavement. If you can't keep it there for 5 seconds, it's too hot for your pet's paws!

A fascinating fact for Feline Friday:

Cats have a dual scent mechanism that’s a cool superpower and quite rare in the animal kingdom. Like other animals, cats have regular olfactory (scent) receptors to pick up the aromas in the air. But cats also have a second “nose” located in the roof of the mouth, called the vomeronasal organ. This has a slightly different use as it picks up pheromone signatures that regular scent receptors can’t detect. These pheromones are important for social, mating and territorial information.

Periodontal disease is the most common dental condition in dogs and cats – by the time your pet is 3 years old, he or she will very likely have some early evidence of periodontal disease, which will worsen as your pet grows older if effective preventive measures aren’t taken. Early detection and treatment are critical, because advanced periodontal disease can cause severe problems and pain for your pet. Periodontal disease doesn’t just affect your pet’s mouth. Other health problems found in association with periodontal disease include kidney, liver, and heart muscle changes.

It starts with plaque that hardens into tartar. Tartar above the gumline can often easily be seen and removed, but plaque and tartar below the gumline is damaging and sets the stage for infection and damage to the jawbone and the tissues that connect the tooth to the jaw bone. Periodontal disease is graded on a scale of 0 (normal) to 4 (severe).

The treatment of periodontal disease involves a thorough dental cleaning and x-rays may be needed to determine the severity of the disease. Your veterinarian will make recommendations based on your pet’s overall health and the health of your pet’s teeth, and provide you with options to consider.
