Fun Fact Friday!

🐾 Fun Pet Facts from VCA Central Animal Hospital 🐾

Did you know? 🤔

Dogs' sense of smell is at least 40 times better than ours! They have up to 300 million olfactory receptors in their noses, compared to about 6 million in humans. 🐶👃

Cats have five toes on their front paws but only four on their back paws. Some cats, known as polydactyls, can have more! 🐱🐾

Rabbits' teeth never stop growing! They need to chew on hay and other fibrous foods to keep their teeth at a healthy length. 🐰

Birds can see ultraviolet light. This helps them find food, navigate, and even choose mates! 🌈

Goldfish can recognize faces! They can distinguish between different human faces and even remember them. 🐟👀
