Welcome back to FUN FACT Friday!!

In true Disney fashion, as Olaf mentioned in Frozen 2, DID YOU KNOW some turtles can breathe out of their butts?

Some water turtles have a specialized cloaca that they rely on for oxygen when they're under water. While most turtles do not rely heavily on this kind of "butt breathing," one kind of turtle - the Fitzroy River turtle - gets almost two-thirds of its oxygen this way.

Silly but cool!

Do you have any fun or interesting animal facts? Feel free to share and we can feature them on our fun fact Friday!

Taking a look back at our Dental Health Month! Take a look at the basic cleanings, severe periodontal disease, extraction sites, and radiographs!

National Dental Health Month is in February, and this year provided a ton of insight into dental health for our favorite fur members! When we see a patient in our hospital we check their teeth as apart of their physical exam. Studies show that 80-90% of dogs over the age of 3 and 50-90% of cats older than 4 years have some component of periodontal disease. We are in the business of prevention and recommend dental prophylactic care as apart of your pet's wellness, this helps to prevent periodontal disease.

As apart of our dental cleaning & assessments we provide full mouth radiographs, charting, scaling, and polishing. We have skilled licensed technicians and doctors who perform the necessary periodontal treatment or extractions, all with over 15 years of experience!

If you have any questions about dental care or would like for us to do an oral health exam, give us a call today! You can also book online at https://disneypethospital.com/

FUN FACT Friday!!

Did you know?? A newborn kangaroo is the size of a lima bean, and they can't walk backwards. After they're born, they climb up their mother's bellies into a comfy pouch to grow for another six months before emerging to greet the world. Because of their long feet and large tail, kangaroos can't walk or hop backwards.

How strange and interesting!

Welcome back to FUN FACT Friday!

Did you know otters have a pocket in their skin to keep their favorite rock in? Otters have to use rocks to crack open the hard shells of mollusks they eat, some otters keep the same rock their entire lives and store it in this skin flap.

Do you love sea otters? They sure are adorable creatures.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

A famous legend associated with St. Patrick is that he banished snakes from Ireland, but there's no evidence that snakes ever lived there! In fact many animals found throughout Europe and North America don't live on the island of Ireland—the ocean keeps the critters away.

Are you and your pet celebrating the holiday by wearing Irish attire? Show us in the comments!!

Happy Pi Day! Also, FUN Fact Friday!

In the movie Life of Pi, the character Pi imagines zoo animals with human traits. For example, he imagines pheasants complaining in British accents and baboons planning bank robberies. Pi escapes a sinking ship and ends up on a lifeboat with a zebra with a broken leg, a spotted hyena, a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker, and an orangutan named Orange Juice.

Enjoy some pie for Pi day!

FUN Fact Friday!!

When a cat headbutts you, it is generally considered a sign of affection, as they are using scent glands on their face to mark you as part of their territory and "family" by leaving their pheromones on you; essentially saying they like and trust you. This behavior is often called "bunting" and is a clear sign of feline affection.

Has your kitty ever done this? Let us know, and show us in the comments!!

FUN Fact Friday!!

Did you know, a group of three or more pugs is called a grumble!

The term "grumble" may have been chosen because of pugs' tendency to snort and grunt. Pugs are a vocal breed of dog that are known for their large, expressive faces and wrinkly skin. Pugs are also known as "shadows" because they like to stay close to their owners and follow them around.

Isn't that adorable?! Do you have a pug? Do you have a grumble? Show us!!

🐾 Today is World Spay Day! 🐾

Spaying (and neutering) is one of the most important decisions pet parents can make for their pets' long-term health and well-being. Beyond preventing unwanted litters, spaying has significant medical and behavioral benefits, including:

✅ Healthier Pets – Spaying reduces the risk of certain cancers and infections, helping pets live longer, healthier lives.
✅ Happier Homes – Pets that are spayed often have fewer behavioral challenges, leading to a more peaceful home environment.
✅ Community Impact – By preventing overpopulation, spaying helps reduce the number of homeless pets in shelters.

We believe in proactive, compassionate care that supports both pets and pet parents. If you have questions about spaying your pet, we’re here to help! 💙

Sometimes pets aren't fond of coming to the vet, that is ok, they are in an unfamiliar place and taken out of their warm and comfy bed to get poked and prodded by strangers.

Here at Disney Pet Hospital, we are all Fear Free Certified, and have many techniques to help your pet through their stress and anxiety. We offer pre-consult low stress medications and do our best to work with each pet's individual needs.

This lovely girl, Bacardi, is an anxious girl while here at the clinic. She needs low stress medication and LOTS of treats while she is here. Pictured is her in the clinic after having a treat vs stress free at home. While she isn't fond of being here at the clinic, she is still a wonderful kitty!

No judgement here!! If your pet has anxiety at the vet, give us a call to talk through it. Better yet, come by for a HAPPY visit, just to say hello and have a treat!!

Welcome back to FUN FACT FRIDAY!

Honey Bees can communicate through dance! Honey bees perform dances to communicate the location of food sources and nest sites to their fellow bees. These dances are a form of nest-based communication that's unique to honey bees.
Round dance: Signals to other bees that there is a good pollen area nearby
Waggle dance: Tells other bees the exact location of a food source, including how far away it is and which direction to fly.

Have you ever witnessed a honey bee dance?

Fun Fact Friday and Happy Valentines Day!

Did you know in Switzerland, it is illegal to own a single guinea pig because they are social animals that need companionship. Guinea pigs are natural herd animals, and therefore are known to form strong bonds within their social circle. Once you earn a guinea pig's trust, they will show their affection by cuddling with you. When they're completely content, a guinea pig will even purr!

Do you have a Guinea Pig? Show us the love!!

❤️🐾 Love is in the air... but keep the chocolate out of reach! 🍫🚫

Happy Valentine’s Day, pet parents! While you’re indulging in sweet treats today, remember that chocolate is toxic to pets. Even a small amount can cause serious health issues for dogs and cats.

💡 Pet-safe tip: Keep chocolates, candy, and anything with xylitol far away from curious noses. If your pet eats some, call your vet or an emergency clinic right away!

Show your pets love with belly rubs, extra snuggles, and maybe a special pet-friendly treat instead! 🐶🐱💕

Friends and family, we want you to know that a toxic chemical to your cats and dogs may be labeled as something new!!

Xylitol is toxic to our fur members, even in small amounts. XYLITOL is a sweetener that is found in a wide range of products. It might also go by other names, including wood sugar, birch sugar, and birch bark extract.

Xylitol can cause low blood sugar, liver failure, seizures, and even death in dogs. Symptoms can include weakness, shaking, unsteadiness, vomiting, lethargy, collapse, and disorientation. Cats are less likely to be affected by xylitol than dogs, but large amounts can cause a drop in blood sugar. However, liver failure is common even if the cat survives.

Please let us know if you have any questions!!

Welcome back to FUN FACT FRIDAY!

Crows are pranksters - they have been observed actually playing tricks on each other. A study published in the journal Science by University of Oxford Professor Alex Kacelnik tells us that crows are smart and can even make tools. Long-time bird watcher and nature writer Candace Savage has observed that these birds are so intelligent they can play pranks on each other.

Has a crow ever played a trick on you? Share in the comments.
