Dogs can get dehydrated just like you can! So it’s important to ensure that your dog is drinking enough water throughout the day. Dehydration can lead to serious health issues so make sure your pupper always has access to fresh water, especially after playtime or walks. In hot weather, consider offering water to them more frequently.

At just 8 weeks old, kittens reach a significant milestone, making weaning them to solid foods the most opportune time. It fosters their independence while setting the foundation for a healthy, balanced diet that ensures their growth into playful and thriving cats!
Oftentimes, we see our cute cats twirling, but what does it mean? It can signify several things. They could be being playful, following a hunting instinct, showing excitement, or, in rare cases, it could indicate a medical issue or be caused by disorientation. However, in most cases, this is normal behavior.
Different breeds of cats mature at slightly different rates. Depending on your kitten's breed, it might take them somewhat longer to mature. Maine Coons, for example, aren't considered mature until about 3 or 4 years old. Some cats never even really outgrow their kitten phase! Looking for more fun facts about your cat? Follow us for more.
According to a recent American Temperament Test Society study, pit bulls pass their temperament tests 87% of the time – making them 4th out of the 122 breeds tested – meaning they're one of the most affectionate and least aggressive dogs.

Did you know that Siamese cat coloring actually comes from albinism? Their unique coloring is believed to be the result of a mutation from albino genes. They are sometimes referred to as “temperature sensitive albinos” due to their color developing after exposure to lower temperatures and being the darkest on their extremities. Most modern Siamese cats are not considered true albinos and the full mutation is recessive within the breed, which is characterized by an all-white coat with blue eyes.
Using adapted tests designed for human children, psychologists have learned that average dogs can count, reason, and recognize words and gestures on par with a human 2 -year-old!
